Tamar L. Ben-Shaanan,Maya Schiller,Hilla Azulay-Debby,Ben Korin,Nadia Boshnak,Tamar Koren,Maria Krot,Jivan Shakya,Michal A. Rahat,Fahed Hakim,Fahed Hakim,Asya Rolls +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that chemogenetic activation of the brain’s reward system ventral tegmental area (VTA) can boost mice's immune function, confer anti-tumor immunity, and reduce tumor mass in experimental rodent models of lung carcinoma and melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insular cortex neurons encode and retrieve specific immune responses
Tamar Koren,Re’ee Yifa,Mariam Amer,Maria Krot,Nadia Boshnak,Tamar L. Ben-Shaanan,Hilla Azulay-Debby,Itay Zalayat,Eden Avishai,Haitham Hajjo,Maya Schiller,Hedva Haykin,Ben Korin,Dorit Farfara,Fahed Hakim,Oren Kobiler,Kobi Rosenblum,Asya Rolls +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the brain's insular cortex (InsCtx) was shown to store immune-related information, and the brain can store and retrieve specific immune responses, extending the classical concept of immunological memory to neuronal representations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optogenetic activation of local colonic sympathetic innervations attenuates colitis by limiting immune cell extravasation
Maya Schiller,Hilla Azulay-Debby,Nadia Boshnak,Yehezqel Elyahu,Ben Korin,Tamar L. Ben-Shaanan,Tamar Koren,Maria Krot,Fahed Hakim,Asya Rolls +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of the local arm of the SNS in an inflammatory response in the colon and found that local activation of sympathetic fibers attenuated experimental colitis and reduced immune cell abundance.

Remembering immunity: Neuronal ensembles in the insular cortex encode and retrieve specific immune responses
Tamar Koren,Maria Krot,Nadia Boshnak,Mariam Amer,Tamar L. Ben-Shaanan,Hilla Azulay-Debby,Haitham Hajjo,Eden Avishai,Maya Schiller,Hedva Haykin,Ben Korin,Dorit Farfara,Fahed Hakim,Kobi Rosenblum,Asya Rolls +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that immune-related information is stored in the brain’s insular cortex (InsCtx) and that the brain can encode and initiate specific immune responses, extending the classical concept of immunological memory to neuronal representations of immunity.
