Ribak G, Barkan S, Soroker V
PLoS One . 2017 Nov; 12(11):e0186441. PMID: 29091924
Predicting the dispersal of pest insects is important for pest management schemes. Flight-mills provide a simple way to evaluate the flight potential of insects, but there are several complications in...

Barkan S, Yom-Tov Y, Barnea A
Front Neurosci . 2017 Apr; 11:139. PMID: 28396621
Studies in Passerines have found that migrating species recruit more new neurons into brain regions that process spatial information, compared with resident species. This was explained by the greater exposure...

Barkan S, Roll U, Yom-Tov Y, Wassenaar L, Barnea A
Sci Rep . 2016 Feb; 6:21983. PMID: 26905978
New neuronal recruitment in an adult animal's brain is presumed to contribute to brain plasticity and increase the animal's ability to contend with new and changing environments. During long-distance migration,...

Barkan S, Yom-Tov Y, Barnea A
Dev Neurobiol . 2014 Jun; 74(12):1194-209. PMID: 24903508
Evidence suggests a possible correlation between learning abilities of adults and new neuronal recruitment into their brains. The hypothesis is that this brain plasticity enables animals to adapt to environmental...

Alon L, Pietrokovski S, Barkan S, Avrahami L, Kaidanovich-Beilin O, Woodgett J, et al.
FEBS Lett . 2011 Mar; 585(8):1158-62. PMID: 21419127
Mammalian glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), a critical regulator in neuronal signaling, cognition, and behavior, exists as two isozymes GSK-3α and GSK-3β. Their distinct biological functions remains largely unknown. Here, we...

Barkan S, Ayali A, Nottebohm F, Barnea A
Dev Neurobiol . 2007 Apr; 67(6):687-701. PMID: 17443817
Previous studies suggest that adult neurogenesis and neuronal replacement are related to the acquisition of new information. The present study supports this hypothesis by showing that there is an increase...
