Adi Mizrahi

Prof. Adi Mizrahi is a Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC), leading the NeuroPlasticity Lab. His research focuses on neuronal plasticity in auditory and olfactory systems, parental neuroscience, and adult neurogenesis. He holds the Eric Roland Chair in Brain Sciences.

Research Interests:

• Neuronal & Circuit Plasticity in Sensory Systems
• Auditory Learning & Perceptual Boundaries
• Social and Parental Behavior Neural Mechanisms
• Adult Neurogenesis Functional Role
• Olfactory Bulb Circuit Dynamics

Key Findings:

• Discovered maternal behavior-driven plasticity in auditory cortex representations of pup vocalizations
• Elucidated odor categorization mechanisms in the olfactory bulb
• Showed learning-induced cortical map expansions in auditory cortex

Awards & Honors:

• ERC Starting Grant (2007)
• Sir Zelman Cowen Universities Fund Prize (2009)

Labs & Teams: Directs the NeuroPlasticity Lab, collaborating with multiple postdocs and students investigating auditory, olfactory, and parental neurobiology. Lab develops automated behavioral systems and advanced imaging techniques.
