I'm so proud to share my Ph.D. work from @OferYizhar's lab, now on bioRxiv. We developed a new approach for transcranial optogenetic silencing in untethered and freely-behaving pups, exploring the role of oxytocin in early-life social behavior >> biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Oxytocin signaling regulates maternally-directed behavior during early life

Oxytocin signaling regulates maternally-directed behavior during early life

Oxytocin is essential in shaping social behavior across the lifespan. While the role of oxytocin signaling in parental care has been widely investigated, little is known about its function in social...

"Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day... make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular.” - Robin Williams (as Jack in the movie 'Jack')

To all my friends that sent words of solidarity, they are dearly appreciated, thank you. These are difficult times. #solidaritywithisrael. Numbers and scales: we are at 900 dead from a single attack. Per captia, an order of magnitude larger than 9-1 1 or Pearl Harbor.

This is going to be an incredibly sad day in Israel. 900 murdered, many still missing. In such a small country, everyone is affected. Take a moment today and think of this horrible reality.

💔 these were all civilians, many in their early 20s, who just went to dance at a rave

I try to spare my international friends the gruesome details of what’s going on here. But I recently talked to a friend who apparently had no idea that the casualties were civilians, abducted from their homes and taken to Gaza. This is just one story of dozens. Think about them.
