Behavioral Neuroscience: is a scientific discipline that emerged from a variety of scientific and philosophical traditions in the 18th and 19th centuries. This field focuses on the biology of behavior, combining the psychology of perception, learning, memory, cognition, motivation and emotion with underlying neural and physiological processes.
3D morphological analysis of neurons often requires using different imaging modalities, capturing multiple types of neurons and inspecting neurons in a range of densities. These complexities...

Complex behaviors are often driven by an internal model, which integrates sensory information over time and facilitates long-term planning to reach subjective goals. {\color{rev}A fundamenta...
Understanding how populations of neurons work together to represent stimuli, build percepts, and generate complex behaviors, is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. To establish a link b...
Ataxia Telangiectasia, also known as A-T, is a devastating neuropediatric and genetic disorder for which there is no cure. Patients suffer from immune deficiency, cancer predisposition, and...
