Understanding the brain, the complexity of its neural circuits that give raise and enable intricate behaviors, has long been a dream of mine. During my bachelor's degree in biomedical science at the Hebrew University, I became even more interested in the field of neuroscience, specifically at the level of neural circuits, and decided to focus my future studies and research work in this field. I'm very glad to be able to study the simple yet fascinating model organism C. elegans. The relative compact neural networks of the worm and the exciting ability to manipulate and engineer them, is for me the perfect way to better understand how neural circuits function, and generate behavior. I am excited to work on such a promising model with the help and guidance of great people.
