We stand with all those calling for the release of the remaining hostages in Hamas captivity, and we mourn for those who have lost their lives. We recognize the profound toll this crisis has had on the people of Israel and the region at large, including our colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science and their families. We yearn for a future of lasting peace, where the ideals of our community are embodied throughout: collaboration, freedom, and the pursuit of truth.

What happens in our brains when we undergo stress? Why are some people more anxious than others? How do our brains know the difference between positive and negative emotions? These are just some of the questions Prof. Rony Paz is answering. Understanding the connection between emotions and cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and decision-making can shed light on disorders where that connection is disrupted, including autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
