New paper! Brain representations of real-life social networks. Joint work with Mordechai Hayman, Bar Tamir and Shahar Arzy. Now out in SfN Journals #JNeurosci : jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Akko is going online - tweet it with #ISCOP2022

Did you know there is a third somatomotor map in the human cerebellum? Excited to share our new preprint w/ @pangeli95 Lauren DiNicola and Randy L. Buckner biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cognitive maps are well established in spatial cognition. Are they used also for social cognition? With Raphael Kaplan we argue that hippocampal–entorhinal coordinate transformations inform social perspective taking academic.oup.com/scan/advance-a….

Time-cells at the ms level are well known. What about grid-cells for time? here Greg Peters-Founshtein and colleagues show a grid-cell-like activity for the representation of dual time scales (age and time-of-day) at the entorhinal cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Our brain can process a tremendous number of members of our social network, How? Using blockbuster movies and fMRI, Ron and colleagues demonstrate that a most powerful strategy is social categorization by narrative roles. See our new paper at JNeurosci jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Super excited to share my first preprint! We used fMRI to examine levels of personal closeness, and found that the majority of our social mind is dedicated to only a few closest relationships. Thanks to my mentor Shahar Arzy and the great Robin Dunbar doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

Most of our social brain is dedicated to the 5 closest people in our life. All other people are represented in relatively small cognitive mapping related regions. See our new preprint by Moshe Roseman-Shalem with @rddunbar96 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We may process our closest friends and family in different parts of the brain from the rest of our social circle, perhaps because we assume they will think and feel similarly to how we do newscientist.com/article/233464…

Honored to have been awarded the Presidential Scholarship for excellence and scientific innovation. I'm grateful to the President, his wife, and the scholarship committee for supporting Alzheimer's research. Thanks to my legendary mentor Shahar Arzy and all cnplab members!

מוזמנים להקשיב לשיחה המרתקת שהקלטתי עם ד"ר יואב חמדני המקסים והמבריק! דיברנו על היסטוריה אמריקאית- המערב הפרוע, אינדיאנים, גנרלים מפוקפקים, על התגלית סנסציונית שלו, וגם על האלבום שלו שהוקלט במנהטן והוקדש לאשדוד. ספוטיפיי- bitly.ws/Kg77 "ברדיו עם קלצ'קין" Yoav Hamdani

אמלק: אם אתם יכולים - תתרמו דם. ותיכנסו למאגר תורמי מח העצם. בבקשה. לרוב אני לא כותב על עניינים אישיים, אבל הפעם הרגשתי צורך כבר שלושה חודשים שהמשפחה שלנו עוברת תקופה מאוד מורכבת. אשתי, ענבר, אובחנה בתסמונת נדירה ומסוכנת - אנמיה אפלסטית.👇🏽

How do we find our way? Lesions causing loss of ability to navigate space (topographical disorientation) are functionally connected to medial parietal/temporal & ventromedial prefrontal cortices Shahar Arzy Moshe Roseman-Shalem Michael Ferguson 🧠😇 Michael Fox Hebrew University academic.oup.com/cercor/advance…

We’ve used precision mapping to reveal side-by-side, functionally specialized regions in the cognitive cerebellum! Check out our new preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… With Jingnan Du Heather Lynne Kosakowski @pangeli95 Lauren DiNicola Mark Eldaief Randy Buckner (1/7)

Happy to share that Cerebral Cortex just published our new paper uncovering the brain's spatial orientation system based on lesions. Congrats Moshe Roseman-Shalem and Uri! Thanks to our amazing collaborators Isaiah Kletenik Michael Ferguson 🧠😇🕊 Michael Fox @hugospiers academic.oup.com/cercor/article…

We are happy to report that our latest paper, 'Evidence for grid-cell-like activity in the time domain', has just been published in Neuropsychologia! Congrats to the talented researchers Greg, Amnon Dafni-Merom, Rotem & Shahar Arzy. Find the paper here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ivzN6TBG1zMh

📣 SO EXCITED to share with you all my third first-author paper from my PhD: “Video gaming, but not reliance on GPS, is associated with spatial navigation performance.” ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv… I am so grateful to the wonderful team who turned this dream into a reality! 🙌

📢Excited to announce our new publication in Cerebral Cortex! This fMRI study by Rotem Monsa, Amnon Dafni-Merom, and Shahar Arzy, delves into the neural basis of self-defining memories and highlight the role of self-reflection in them. Read more: shorturl.at/KcloC

Thrilled to share our latest publication in Communications Biology: 'Processing of social closeness in the human brain', where we show how brain processing of very close friends differs from others. Huge thanks to the legendary Robin Dunbar and brilliant Shahar Arzy! rdcu.be/dWvF0

Exciting news from our lab! Check out our latest paper 'Processing of social closeness in the human brain', now published in Communications Biology. Congrats to Moshe Roseman-Shalem, Shahar Arzy, and our amazing collaborator Robin Dunbar! rdcu.be/dWvF0
