The brain is the most complex entity in the universe, and is the ultimate exciting frontier of science. It underlies everything that is human, including sensations, movements, emotions, memories, language, planning, imagination, and consciousness. As such, it requires a uniquely diverse set of backgrounds to study it, including Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, Psychology, Engineering, and multiple subdisciplines of Biology. The Weizmann Institute of Science has a large and vibrant community of Brain Scientists, and it is one of the leading centers of Brain Research worldwide. We welcome outstanding students from any academic background to apply to our cutting-edge Brain Sciences M.Sc program.

An early sign of Covid-19 is loss of smell. But how can i know if my sense of smell is changing? "SmellTracker", a new tool from the Weizmann Institute lets you track and monitor your sense of smell

The olfaction research group in the department of neurobiology is about to launch a first-of-its-kind platform to collect data from participants in a unique and VERY rewarding way.
On "Launch day" (this is how we like to call it) only a limited number of invitations will be available. We cannot say much at the moment but be sure to follow us on our new dedicated page - "SmellSpace".

In a recent publication, Dr. Tali Kimchi and Niv Scott, in collaboration with Dr. Ofer Yizhar and Dr. Matthias Prigge, have shown that the same network of brain cells operate differently in male and female mice.

When it comes to parental behavior, researchers have had a hard time pinpointing where, exactly, in the brain differences between the sexes are located and how they translate into behavior. In new research, Dr. Tali Kimchi and her graduate student Niv Scott, in collaboration with Dr. Ofer Yizhar and Dr. Matthias Prigge, a postdoctoral fellow in his lab, all of the Weizmann Institute’s Neurobiology Department, have now shown that the same network of brain cells operate differently in male and female mice.

כשמדובר בהתנהגות הורית, לחוקרים קשה במיוחד להצביע על היכן בדיוק נמצא ההבדל "המוחי" בין שני המינים, וכיצד הוא מתורגם להתנהגות. במחקר חדש של ד"ר טלי קמחי ותלמיד המחקר שלה ניב סקוט, בשיתוף פעולה עם ד"ר עופר יזהר וד"ר מתיאס פריג', פוסט דוקטורט החבר במעבדתו דבמחלקה לנוירוביולגיה במכון הם מראים כיצד אותה רשת תאים במוח פועלת בצורה שונה בין עברים ועכברות.
