11 Apr '14

** If you have a doctorate or postdoctoral training in systems neuroscience, and you are interested in studying tinnitus, we may have a great position for you. We are a well-established and growing research team studying age-related changes of the nervous system, with a strong focus on age-related synaptic changes which may contribute to functional declines both in the peripheral (age-related hearing loss) and central nervous system (tinnitus). One of our funded projects is to study tinnitus in our transgenic mouse models with both functional (chronic recording of neuronal activities plus behavior testing) and molecular approaches. Our team includes two principle investigators with backgrounds in neuroscience and molecular biology. We also work within the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology with ten investigators in the area of auditory neuroscience. The ideal applicant will support current and planned experiments in tinnitus and hearing loss, and also will want to develop his/her own research interests. Applicants should have excellent skills in scientific writing, experimental design, data analysis, and management of a research team. We like to think that the intellectual environment of our group, and the many colleagues with which we have close interactions, are as exciting as the university where our work takes place. We look forward to hearing from you. *To be considered for this opportunity, please email directly to Dr. Jianxin Bao at **jbao(a)neomed.edu* <mailto:jbao@neomed.edu>*.* *AA/EOE M/F/D/V* Jasmine Grimsley, Ph.

Fwd: : MRC-Ph.D. Studentship
by Gary Green 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

A 3.5-year PhD studentship funded by the MRC is available at the University of Glasgow. The project will examine sensory predictions in MEG-Data in schizophrenia and will be supervised by Dr. Peter Uhlhaas and Joachim Gross. The financial package will include a 3.5-year stipend, approved University of Glasgow fees, Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) and a conference allowance. An abstract of the project can be found below. *Deadline for applicants is the 2^nd of May.*More information can be found here: http://www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvls/graduateschool/researchopportunities/res… Applicants will normally be expected to reside (or have residency) within the UK. EU nationals will have to demonstrate that they have spent the three years prior to application resident in the UK (this can include residence whilst undertaking undergraduate study). ** For further information please contact: Dr. Peter Uhlhaas peter.uhlhaas(a)glasgow.ac.uk Neurophysiology of Dysfunctional Sensory Predictions in Schizophrenia One core property of brain networks is the ability to predict sensory events and to anticipate the consequences of one’s own actions. Recent evidence suggests that failures in predictive mechanisms may also be fundamentally involved in neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. Specifically, patients with schizophrenia are characterized by a reduced ability to distinguish between self-generated actions and externally generated stimuli that could underlie the development of core symptoms of the disorder, such delusions of control and auditory hallucinations. The proposed project will examine sensory predictions and its relationship to neural oscillations in schizophrenia through Magnetoencephalography (MEG). MEG is ideally suited to explore this link because of its excellent temporal resolution and previous evidence suggesting that rhythmic activity is related to cognitive dysfunctions in schizophrenia. Specifically, we will investigate the neural signatures underlying the ability to differentiate between self-generated sensory events and externally generated stimuli in the auditory domain. To this end, we will develop a MEG-compatible paradigm to examine sensory predictions in patients with schizophrenia as well as in a group of individuals who are at an elevated risk for developing psychosis to investigate the potential role of predictions failures as a biomarker for early detection and diagnosis. -- Haiteng Jiang PhD candidate Neuronal Oscillations Group Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging Radboud University Nijmegen Visiting address Room 2.32 Kapittelweg 29 6525 EN Nijmegen Tel: +31 (0)243668291 Web: https://sites.google.com/site/haitengjiang/
