Fwd: PhD position, imaging neuroscience of learning and memory, Hamburg, Germany

by Gary Green

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD Student to work at the Department of Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (Direktor: Prof. Christian Büchel). The goal of the project (PI: Dr. Nico Bunzeck, research group: Neurocognition of Learning and Memory) is to investigate the role of noise in different forms of learning with a focus on dopaminergic neuromodulation in healthy human subjects. Methodologically, the research projects will primarily involve fMRI and M/EEG possibly in combination with psychopharmacology. The position is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and is available for 3 years. Salary will be according to German Public service regulations (E13-65%). Ideal candidates should have a BSc/MSc (or equivalent) in psychology, biology, neuroscience or a related field. Basic computer programming skills (preferably Matlab), familiarity with fMRI, M/EEG and/or the neuroscience of learning and memory is helpful. The Department of Systems Neuroscience provides an excellent multi-disciplinary and interactive neuroimaging environment with its own physics, psychology and clinical neuroscience groups as well as a research dedicated 3T MR scanner, EEG-laboratory and whole head MEG system. Expected starting date is October 2013 and applications will be considered until the position is filled. Candidates should submit a CV, names of two references, and a brief statement of research interests by e-mail to Dr. Nico Bunzeck at n.bunzeck(a)uke.de For questions or informal enquiries about both position, please contact me via email: n.bunzeck(a)uke.de

Fwd: Postdoc positions in Multimicroelectrode Recordings in Humans

by Gary Green

Two postdoctoral fellows are sought to work with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, to conduct and analyze intracranial multimicroelectrode recordings in humans. The recording systems are either 'Utah arrays' with 96 separate microelectrodes recording units and local field potentials in a grid at 400u centers, or laminar arrays sampling LFP at 150u spacing to derive current source density and multiunit activityfrom layer 1 through layer 6. Both electrodes are combined with distributed subdural strips and/or depth electrodes, placed in epileptic patients for localization of seizure onset. Areas of primary interest are sleep rhythms, memory consolidation, multisensory processing and language, but a broad range of cognitive, sensory and motor phenomena are explored. One position is at the University of California, San Diego and is more concerned with multivariate statistical analysis of several datasets; the other position is at New York University and is more concerned with overseeing the actual recordings and analysis. For inquiries and applications, please contact: Eric Halgren, Ph.D. ehalgren(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ehalgren@ucsd.edu> and Thomas Thesen, Ph.D. thomas.thesen(a)med.nyu.edu <mailto:thomas.thesen@med.nyu.edu>

YNiC Doors being replaced

by Gary Green

This is just to let you know that the front doors to YNiC, between us and CHyM, have to be replaced and this will happen on Monday morning, the 24th of June. Sorry, but MEG will be unavailable as we predict that the noise level will be too high for any meaningful observations I apologise for any inconvenience caused. -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel.

YNiC seminar today (external speaker)

by rem

Dear Users Today (YNiC open plan from 4.30 pm) there will be a talk by Roger Traub, from Columbia University Medical Center, on "Cellular mechanisms of epilepsy: chemical synapses and gap junctions". Abstract: During brief epileptic bursts, principal neurons fire together for tens to hundreds of milliseconds, producing a large extracellular potential ("field"). Superimposed on this large field are high-frequency oscillations, from ~100 to several hundred Hz. Two distinctive means of coupling between neurons cooperate to generate the event. Recurrent excitatory synaptic connections shape the overall event, but gap junction coupling (between pyramidal cells) produces the fast oscillations. I will describe the dissection of the cellular mechanisms via in vitro experiments (on rodent and human tissue) and via computer modeling and network theory. Experimentally, the fast oscillations can be evoked alone, during blockade of chemical synapses; but blockade of gap junctions abolishes BOTH the fast oscillations and the larger burst. Other lines of evidence pointing toward a critical role for gap junctions in epilepsy-related very fast oscillations are these: a) large-scale spatial patterns of cortical fast oscillations, resembling an excitable medium; b) the existence of "glissandi" (~30 to >150 Hz) oscillations in epileptic tissue, with chemical synapses blocked; c) recent data showing that fast ripples (>250 Hz) in resected human tissue persist without chemical synapses. These data suggest that a targeted manipulation of selected gap junctions might prevent certain seizure events. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards.

Fwd: Functional MRI & EEG Neuroimaging in Dementia

by Gary Green

The Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich: Research Fellow/Postdoc: Functional MRI & EEG Neuroimaging in Dementia RESEARCH FOCUS and RESPONSIBILITIES: The research fellow/postdoc will work on multimodal imaging of human brain changes in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and cerebrovascular disease. The funded neuroscience research project headed by Prof. Dr. Michael Ewers has a strong focus on the combined acquisition of functional MRI and high-density EEG along with other neuroimaging modalities to study brain changes in humans. The establishment of the fMRI-EEG task-related paradigm and statistical analysis will be a key part of the responsibilities of research position. The fellow will work in a dynamically growing neuroimaging team and is encouraged to bring in own research ideas. REQUIREMENTS: Research experience in EEG or functional MRI in humans is mandatory. The candidate should have a strong interest in either of those image modalities. Solid knowledge of programming and statistics is a plus. Familiarity with biological or clinical aspects of Alzheimer’s disease is not a prerequisite. An enthusiastic, reliable and independent work style will provide a good fit for our team. OFFER: Our institute offers an excellent multidisciplinary environment and state-of-the-art multimodal neuroimaging equipment (3T MRI, high-density fMRI compatible EEG, molecular PET). The research fellow will have clearly defined task definitions, access to all data sets of the research project, and advanced technical support to facilitate efficient work conditions. The fellow will work in a friendly, dynamic, and highly productive lab (http://www.klinikum.uni-muenchen.de/Institut-fuer-Schlaganfall-und-Demenzfo…). The Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) (http://www.en.uni-muenchen.de/index.html), Germany, and its clinics figure among Germany’s premier and internationally competitive biomedical research sites funded by the government’s German Universities Excellence Initiative. The Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research (ISD) is a thriving new research-dedicated institution of the University of Munich. Munich is an attractive city within the reach of the Alpes (http://www.muenchen.de/int/en/tourism.html). Salary is according to TV-L. The position is limited for two years, with a possible extension. Disabled persons will be preferentially considered in case of equal qualification. Presentation costs can unfortunately not be refunded. HOW TO APPLY: Your application - preferably in electronic form - with the usual documents indicating the earliest possible starting date should be directed to: Klinikum der Universität München, Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research Prof. Dr. Michael Ewers Max-Lebsche Platz 30 81377 Munich | Germany Send application by email to: Mrs Kathrin Gehring E-Mail: Kathrin.Gehring(a)med.uni-muenchen.de
