These cells play a crucial role in learning and memory processes, and her research has helped deepen the understanding of their involvement in these processes. Such research significantly contributes to expanding the basic knowledge in brain sciences and to the development of future treatment and intervention methods. In addition to her research activities, Dr. Adar has also served as an outstanding teaching assistant and lecturer in various courses at the Hebrew University. She has also been involved in co-founding a seminar on brain sciences for high school students – a project aimed at making advanced knowledge accessible to a wider audience.
