Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are of critical importance for health[1]. They bind to two receptor types in the hippocampus. the mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) which act as ligand-dependent transcription factors[2-4]. Read more
Applications accepted for PhD Only. The challenges of the developing human brain include co-ordinating the birth and migration of 100 billion neurons and the formation of their 1000 trillion synaptic connections. Read more

How does the human brain work? As you read this text, the pixels on your screen are converted into a series of spike trains passing along the neural pathways in your brain, allowing you to understand the content. Read more
The cellular quality-control process of mitophagy, entailing selective degradation of defective mitochondria (following damage to their DNA) by the process of autophagy, has attracted considerable research interest. Read more
Microdeletions and duplications of the chromosome 15q11.2 region have been identified as a high penetrant risk copy number variance (CNV) to autism and schizophrenia. CYFIP1 (Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 1) is generally believed to be the causal risk gene in this CNV. Read more
The dorsal horn of the spinal cord plays an important role in processing sensory information that is perceived as pain and itch. However, despite its importance we know relatively little about the organisation of neural circuits in this region. Read more
Rationale. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are non-coding RNAs that mediate the silencing of specific messenger RNAs. miRNAs are involved in the regulation of all cellular processes and they are particularly important in coordinating gene expression and function in neurons (1). Read more
Project Overview. Fractional order calculus (integro-differential equations that are of non-integral order) is an emerging methodology with wide applications across all areas of Physics and Engineering. Read more
The skin and other epithelial surfaces such as the oral mucosa play a critical role as a barrier to pathogens and other environmental insults. Read more
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
Neuronal injury or disease in humans often leads to disability and mortality. Neurons in humans regenerate poorly, and there are very few methods to encourage this regeneration. Read more
The human cortex is the most complex known system. It is responsible for a vast range of sensorimotor, decision making, and other cognitive abilities of humans and other mammals. Read more
Open position is available in the Levy lab at the Faculty of Biology, Technion–Israel Institute of Technology (. https://sagilevy.net.technion.ac.il/. Read more
RNA binding proteins (RBP) play a central role in cellular metabolism by orchestrating the complex interactions of coding, non-coding, structural and regulatory RNA species. Read more
