Yair is a neurobiologist interested in modeling stress induced psychopathologies in mice.  Yair develops semi-natural setups and paradigms that combine continues and automatic monitoring of complex behavior together with brain manipulations in mice.

Adi obtained her MSc in Molecular Biology from Ben-Gurion University. She is in charge of the day-to-day maintenance and management of the lab.

Yair received his PhD at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He uses systems neuroscience approaches to dissect behavioral roles of the CRF system, and the role of early postnatal experience in priming adulthood stress responses.

Linor is a neuroscientist interested in the molecular and cellular effects of PTSD.

Asaf uses methods from machine learning, data science and AI to study the neural underpinnings of complex social behavior and stress-related psychiatric disorders. 
He completed his BSc in computer science and philosophy, and his MSc in neuroscience, jointly with Prof. Ofer Yizhar.

Tommaso is a neuroscientist who is deeply interested in improving the understanding of psychiatric disorders like PTSD, ADHD and mood disorders.

Tamara, a student in the field of neurobiology, researches the field of anxiety in a semi-natural environment. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of anxiety in extremely stressful situations, hoping to help people dealing with challenging mental situations.

Maya obtained her PhD at the Weizmann Institute. She is a neuroscientist interested in biomarkers in post-traumtic stress disorder and other psychopathologies. She also really likes the BNST.

Erez is a molecular neurobiologist investigating the role of alternative polyadenylation in the regulation of stress.

Keren is a neuroscientist interested in the epigenetic mechanisms mediating the effects of early life stress on behavior and stress resiliency.

Daniil develops elaborate data analysis, visualization, and real-time activation methods for neuroscience experiments, using machine learning models to predict animal behavior from video analysis.

Roni is interested in exploring the relationship between the genetics of stress-related disorders and oligodendrocytes and the implications of this connection on complex behavior.

Yehonatan is passionate about exploring the interplay between metabolism and stress-induced psychopathologies and behaviors. He earned his BSc in biochemical engineering, followed by his MSc in tissue engineering at the Technion.
