ABOUT
The Leslie and Susan Gonda (Goldschmied) Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center at Bar-Ilan University brings together researchers in a variety of fields which are essential to understanding the brain, including psychology, physics, linguistics, computing and biology.
Research at the Gonda Center studies the brain at all levels - from behavior and cognitive processing through detailed mechanisms of information processing in neural circuits, to the analysis of vital molecules within nerve cells. Research approaches covers all techniques from personal interviews, through electro physiology and from molecular biology to abstract mathematical modeling. The Gonda Center continues to attract new, top-flight researchers from Israel and around the world.
FEATURED RESEARCH
Current research has shown that basic visual networks, such as the magnocellular system, may play a crucial role in reading deficits related to dyslexia. This study, led by Michal Lavidor, explored the relationship between magnocellular activity and reading abilities.
