95 Dr. Aga-Mizrachi Shlomit Telephone: 077-2343808 Cell phone: 0545240974 Email: Shlomit.Mizrachi@gmail.com Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_8I9XbkAAAAJ&hl=iw&oi=ao Our research in the Behavioral Neuroscience lab focused on attention and on the ability to perform social-cooperation. By combining behavioural knowledge and technological tools, we developed fully automated maze, which enables a thorough examination of the ability to perform social cooperation in a rodent model. We are intensively trying to decipher the underlying mechanism of the ability to socially cooperate and we provide for the first-time evidence for the inheritability of social regulation/dysregulation, deciphering the underlying mechanism in various aspects such as behavioral, anatomical (MRI), neural plasticity, proteomic and pharmacology.
