Slide One

We study

How genes, molecular processes and brain regions

regulate social and anxiety-related behaviors in

health and illness

Slide One - copy

We focus

Our research on understanding how these factors are

disrupted in genetic neurodevelopmental disorders

such as autism and Williams syndrome

Slide One - copy - copy

We aspire

To translate findings from our basic research to clinical

aspects that will ultimately improve the diagnosis,

understanding and treatment of neurological and

psychiatric disorders

Neurogenetics and neurodevelopmental aspects of psychiatric disorders

Molecular processes and cell signaling

Myelin and behavior interplay

Therapeutic approaches

Functional neuroanatomy of the social brain

Neuron-Glia Interaction

Congratulations to our Ph.D student Ela Bar for being awarded with the 2023 TEVA Bioinnovation Fellowship and Mentorship program!

Congratulations to our Ph.D student Inbar Fischer for being awarded with the 2022 TEVA Bioinnovation Fellowship and Mentorship program!

Congratulations to Dr. Boaz Barak for being selected to be awarded The ESN Young Scientist Lectureship Award 2022 by the European Society for Neurochemistry (ESN).

The award recognizes outstanding achievements in neurochemistry research of young ESN members.

We are thankful to The National Institute of Psychobiology in Israel (NIPI) for supporting our research again!

This grant will assist us in elucidating the roles of microglia in the pathophysiology of Williams syndrome.

We are thankful for the grant from Sagol School of Neuroscience Interdisciplinary Partnership Grant (SNIP), Sagol School of Neuroscience, Tel Aviv University
