Final version is online @nature! Voltage imaging combined with Optogenetics stimulation to record spikes and subthreshold dynamics from multiple hippocampal neurons in behaving mice. Huge thanks to @AdamEzraCohen, and all our amazing collaborators! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Check out our paper on cortex-wide learning related dynamics in different layers published in @NatureComms! Congrats to lead author @yaelesther, @mattlark and Robert Sachdev. Short summary below rdcu.be/8jy3CofEx3Ua

We wrote a tutorial guide on voltage imaging, now out in Neuron: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nlgh…. Indicators, microscopes, and software have all advanced to the point that it's not so hard -- you can now directly watch the electrical activity of neurons in live animals or in culture.

Exciting preprint from our lab studying representational drift at the cortex-wide level. @yaelesther @mattlark and Robert Sachdev. Drift exisits not only at the single cell level, but also at the population level! And differently across cotical layers! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Excited to announce a powerful new one-two punch for voltage imaging from our lab and collaborators! In two new preprints, we introduce ASAP6c for high-throughput population spike-recording, and ASAP7yfor deep, subthreshold 2P imaging. 🧵 1/14

🚨Paper Alert🚨 After 4(!!!) years of revisions, the amazing @KetiCohen & team pushed out this beauty💪 Unlike what the textbooks say, V1 binocularity is not fixed: at high arousal, binocularity decreases while the strength of peripheral vision increases. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Exicted to share our new preprint on how mice transfer sensory information and working memory across hemispheres. Quick answer, it depends on the mouse! Heroic work by @elad_avidan1 with help from @ShlomoSherer. Most difficult mouse training ever! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Excited to share our new paper published @NeuroCellPress! We used voltage imaging combined with optogenetics in 4 major hippocampal cell types to study how the behavioural state modulates their firing, subthreshold dynamics, and gain authors.elsevier.com/a/1mego…

Pyramidal neurons showed strong divisive gain modulation, which was surprisingly specific to complex spikes. In collaboration with @mikilon, we developed a two-compartment model suggesting that coordinated somatic and dendritic E/I input drives this burst-specific gain control

New lab preprint! Can we study conscious perception of gut sensations in mice to reveal its neuronal basis? Can we train mice to report their gut sensations? Omer Rafael and Stav Shtiglitz in the lab teamed up to discover that…YES! Thread…1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

lab preprint! Interopceptive predictions are central to many brain-body interactions theories,but it's unclear if/how they affect the body. We (fearless Einav Litvak et al) show that insular cortex predictions are essential for glucose homeostasis-THREAD.. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Thrilled to share Milan's & Nimrod's great work exploring the evolution of visual processing🐢📷. Combining neurophysiology with gaze estimation in freely viewing turtles, they identified view-invariant representations in dorsal cortex. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @ScienceAdvances

Excited to share our preprint on brain-wide subnetworks within and between typical and autistic-like mice. Led by Dr. Odeya Marmor, collab with @haitham_amal. We recorded neural dynamics from dozens of brain areas from two naturally socializing mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

מוצא את עצמי המון פעמים תוהה מה פשר השנאה אלינו בעולם! פאקינג הם התחילו במלחמה והם אלו שעדיין מחזיקים 55 חטופים בעזה. אנחנו נלחמים כדי להחזיר את החטופים ולמוטט את החמאס! אבל אז אני קורא ששר האוצר אומר ש״עזה זה בוננזה של נדל״ן ואת שלב ההריסה כבר עשינו״ ואז יש לי קצת פחות תהיות.

Over 450 Israeli academics and I signed this declaration in 48 hours, with more joining. Civilians must be protected—not starved or killed. Our gov’t is adopting Hamas’s values, not defending humanity. This brings no real security to Israel. #NotInOurName

How do animals stay precise when their whole brain heats up or cools down? Larval zebrafish hunt accurately across a 10°C range. What enables such stability? What mechanism might support it? #zebrafish #neuroscience #temperature @STishbyTamari @ELSCbrain doi.org/10.1101/2025.07.20.6…
