In eLife - the journal today: Natural forgetting reversibly modulates engram expression doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

🌟 Cai Lab nature paper alert! In new work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9) Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

It’s hard to imagine new discoveries about the NMDA receptor, one of the most studied molecules in #Neuroscience. But the brilliant minds in my lab—Antonella Ruggiero Antonella Ruggiero, Leore Heim, and Lee Susman—are here to surprise you! 👇 Sagol School of Neuroscience TAU Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences

Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire Sylvie Lesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Registration & Abstract Submission is open for the 2025 "Engram and Ensembles in Learning and Memory" meeting, at Trinity College Dublin in May. Abstract deadline February 14. #EngramsandEnsembles2025 Preliminary Agenda at event website: event.fourwaves.com/engramsensembl…

Our new paper is out!! 🥳😊. Emotional Self-Experience Modulation of Reaction to Others Emotion (in mice) nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share our new paper out now nature, where we identified neural signatures of stress susceptibility and resilience in the amygdala-ventral hippocampal network to enable control of anhedonia! <nature.com/articles/s4158…> Thread below:

Enjoy! Our new paper on social learning of mice.

We keep celebrating! Our latest publication in Nature Neuroscience is finally out! Using our new tool AstroLight we demonstrate that a specific group of #astrocytes —an astrocyte ensemble— in the nucleus accumbens regulates cue-motivated behavior. Check it out!✨rdcu.be/d8qJi

It's cold tonight in Jerusalem! My daughter is lying on the ground, as reminder for the government that we still have 73 hostages in Gaza! They tend to forget. Their survival in power is much more important...

That’s my son on the floor, getting kicked in the head ! I don’t think I can get angrier than I am right now…

If you are around for the CosyneMeeting conference and interested in how neural computations happen in the brain without neurons (with astrocytes), drop by our workshop co-organized w/ Inbal Goshen 🎗️ and Leo Kozachkov. cosyne.org/workshops-prog…

A friend sent me another picture of my son. The police officer sleeps well at night, I'm sure. It will take decades to repair out trust in the police, if at all.

היום לפני 92 שנה. היום, לפני 92 שנה, ב-23 במרץ 1933, נחקק ברייכסטאג בברלין חוק ההסמכה. החוק העניק לממשלה, קרי להיטלר, סמכויות חקיקה מלאות, ובכך איפשר לממשלה לעקוף את הרייכסטאג, בו עדיין לא היה למפלגה הנאצית רוב. לפני הדיון נאסרו חברי הפרלמנט מהמפלגה הקומוניסטית ומחלק מחברי המפלגה

My daughter is 18 years old today. She knows how to live life to the full! Math exam in the morning and getting arrested at noon for blocking the road to the corrupt parliament… Her brother got arrested with her - I hope he sings happy birthday to her 🎂🎉🎈🎁

Excited to share our new study: "Cold memories control whole-body thermoregulatory responses" by Andrea Muñoz Zamora, Aaron Douglas & team at Trinity College Dublin, in collaboration with Lydia Lynch & Christine Ann Denny Ryan Lab nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested

A new review "Chemo- and Opto- Genetic Tools Revolutionizing the Study of Astrocytes in Memory" with Shay Meron in Current Opinion in Neurobiology. I really like their review model - recent works only, short and to the point. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…
