Prof. Rony Paz is elucidating the mechanisms underlying learning and memory in emotional situations—research that is yielding insights into neuropsychiatric disorders in which the link between emotion and cognition is disrupted.
Dr. Yaniv Ziv has developed innovative optogenetics techniques to explore the neural dynamics underlying long-term memory and other functions in both the healthy and diseased brain.
Prof. Nachum Ulanovsky is revealing the neuronal coding responsible for navigation in the brain. His research involves the design of novel tools, such as wireless neural recording systems used to track the activity of neurons in live, freely behaving (and ying) bats.
