Multimodal Neuroimaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders Laboratory, Center
for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, National
University of Singapore is looking for postdoctoral fellow in cognitive
neuroscience and/or multimodal neuroimaging.
Our group studies the human neural bases of social-emotion, cognition,
and memory functions and the associated vulnerability patterns in
neuropsychiatric disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases
(focusing on AD, FTD and preclinical stages) and Schizophrenia.
Multimodal neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques are employed,
including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, diffusion
tensor imaging, and electroencephalography (EEG). We are interested in
developing computational methods to examine the network-level structural
and functional brain connectivity to shed light on the neurobiological
mechanism of disease, paving the way for early detection and intervention.
Candidates must have a passionate enthusiasm for research, a strong
background in one of the following fields: computational neuroscience,
cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuroimaging
analyses, mathematics/statistics/machine learning or related-fields.
He/she should also possess the ability to take the initiative, work
independently and be motivated to work in a highly collaborative and
international research environment, and be able to demonstrate
creativity, technical independence and excellent communication skills.
Strong interest in studying dynamic functional connectivity and its
relationships with cognition and disease would be a plus. Proven skills
in fMRI/EEG/DTI data analyses is a plus but not necessary.
Key attractions are access to a 3T Prisma MR scanner and a MR compatible
digital EEG system as well as collaboration opportunities with an
excellent network of domestic and international scientists and doctors.
The position will be two years with possible extension. Competitive

Title of the research unit: : Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle
Épinière (ICM), INSERM
Name of Director : Alexis Brice
PROPOSED TOPIC
Title :
Structural, Functional and Effective Connectivity of AD Related Neural
Networks
Project :
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position (3 years) at
the Pierre and Marie Curie University
(Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), UPMC, Paris, France), at
the Doctoral School of Brain, Cognition,
Behavior (Ecole Doctorale Cerveau-Cognition-Comportement, “ED3C”).
The UPMC, part of the Sorbonne Universities, is the leading University
in France in the area of science,
technology, and medicine and among the leading universities in the
world. The scientific policy of the “ED3C” is
strongly characterized by its multidisciplinary nature and its
commitment towards both human sciences and
mathematical disciplines.
Objectives :
The PhD will be involved in the investigation of structural,
functional and effective connectivity of neural
network models related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), such as the limbic
system (especially the hippocampal
formation, the amygdala, and the entorhinal cortex) and the basal
forebrain cholinergic system using both
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (fMRI) including advanced
tractography methods. The associations between brain pathology and
indices of functional and structural
connectivity are expected to help our understanding of the role of
specific neural networks and their connectivity
in brain function in healthy aging and neurodegenerative disease.
The PhD student will be involved in the study of the multi-modal
nature of specific neural networks – both
in the structural and the functional domains and how these two
components interact with each other – along with
the staging spectrum of AD (from preclinical to prodromal to
dementia). To this aim, he/she will have access to
different landmark clinical cohorts and datasets of patients including
the INSIGHT, SOCRATES, and EDSD
cohorts.
The PhD student will be involved in the exploration of the various
uses that structural and functional
neuroimaging biomarkers can play in detecting, diagnosing, assessing
treatment response and in investigating
neurodegenerative diseases with a special emphasis on AD.
The successful applicant will work under the supervision of the AXA
Research Fund and UPMC Chair,
Prof. Harald Hampel, located at the Institute for Memory and
Alzheimer’s Disease (IM2A) and the Brain & Spine
Institute (Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Épinière, ICM), Paris,
the leading French Institute on brain research,
centrally located within the Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital –
Charles Foix. The Brain & Spine Institute
(http://icm-institute.org/menu/actualites) is a widely renowned
research centre of excellence of international
dimensions. It brings together motivated scientists from various
horizons and countries in order to develop
innovative and cutting-edge research in the area of Neuroscience.
Research teams work at the Brain & Spine
Institute independently but are strictly interconnected through
cross-disciplinary research programs (both basic
and clinical), thus encouraging the amalgamation of different skills.
The multidisciplinary approach to
Neuroscience (Neurobiology, Neurochemistry, Neurogenetics,
Neuropsychology as well as structural / functional /
diffusion / molecular Neuroimaging) taken by the Brain & Spine
Institute represents a vital and dynamic advance
in research.
Background
There is growing evidence that brain activity supports complex
cognitive function that occurs within large-
scale brain networks rather than within single isolated brain regions.
For the definition of connectivity of brain
activity between brain regions, two major concepts have been applied
(Horwitz, 2003). The first concept refers to
functional connectivity, i.e., the correlation between neuronal
changes within one brain region related to another
(Friston, 1998). Functional connectivity has been applied to explore
the correlative pattern of brain activity (Bokde
et al., 2006; 2001). In contrast, effective connectivity refers to the
causal influence of one brain region’s activity on
another where that direction of influence can be explicitly modelled
(Ramnani et al., 2004). Furthermore, global
[rather than local] network properties may be characterized, using
graph theory to describe the properties of a
network’s architecture in terms of efficiency or connectedness
(Bullmore & Sporns, 2009).
In recent years, more and more centers have successfully begun
employing formal network analyses as
biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases (Hampel et al., 2014; 2012;
Horwitz & Rowe, 2011). Actually, current
understanding of the effects of focal damage on neural networks is
rudimentary, even though such understanding
could provide greater insight into important neurological and
neurodegenerative diseases (Bokde et al., 2008;
2006). AD is characterized by early, non-linear dynamic, chronically
progressive cellular and molecular2
mechanisms (protein misfolding) leading to neurodegeneration that
translates clinically into multi-domain
cognitive and behavioral decline, psychopathological disturbances with
subsequent loss of function to perform
day-to-day tasks and ultimately total loss of independence. Findings
derived from neuroimaging studies of both
the structural and functional organization of the human brain have led
to the widely supported hypothesis that
neural networks of temporally coordinated brain activity across
different regional brain structures underpin
cognitive function. Thus, a failure of the regions of a network to
interact at a high level of coordination may
underpin progressive cognitive decline which is present in AD (Bokde
et al., 2009).
The breakdown of network function may be due to interaction failure
among the regions of a network,
which is denoted the disconnection hypothesis (Friston, 1998). In
other words, a disruption in the temporal-
spatially coordinated activity among different regions in the brain
rather than isolated changes in specific brain
regions may underlie cognitive impairment in AD. The breakdown is
thought to be due to progressive AD
pathophysiology with underlying molecular mechanisms leading
downstream to neuronal and synaptic
dysfunction and ultimately to neuronal loss. Such AD-characteristic
structural and functional alterations are
hypothesized to reflect at least partially the progressive impairment
of fiber tract connectivity and integrity (Stoub
et al., 2006; Morrison & Hof, 2002), suggesting that the disconnection
in AD is evident at both the functional and
structural level. Notably, the multi-modal nature of networks should
be examined, i.e., both the structural and
functional components that define a network. Given the substantial
changes that the brain undergoes with the
presence of AD-related pathophysiology, these alterations will
manifest themselves not only in the functional and
structural modules but also in how the changes in the two domains
interact with one another (Teipel et al.,
2007a). Neuroimaging biomarkers will need to be developed and analyzed
crossectionally and longitudinally in
terms of underlying brain networks rather than in terms of individual
regions (Horwitz & Rowe, 2011).
Overall, the current discussion on AD argues that it presents in part
a dynamically progressive structural,
functional and metabolic disconnection syndrome that may undergo
distinct stages from potentially reversible
adaptation to functional compensation to irreversible decompensation.
Studies using fMRI (Bokde et al., 2008;
2006) and electroencephalography (Jelles et al., 2008; Babiloni et
al., 2006) demonstrate that synchronicity of
brain activity is altered in AD and correlates with cognitive
deficits. Moreover, recent advances in diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI) to examine white matter microstructural changes have
made it possible to track axonal projections
across the brain, revealing substantial regional impairment in
fiber-tract integrity in AD (Teipel et al., 2011; Teipel
et al. 2007b).
This work will substantially help develop biomarkers for early
detection, prediction and progression of AD
and will support the discovery and validation of markers that map the
effects of disease modifying therapies on
the brain, ultimately providing much needed surrogate biological markers.

Postdoctoral studies in advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging
analysis (scholarship; extended application deadline) .
We are seeking a highly talented and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD
in neuroimaging awarded within the past three years to work on projects
in which advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis
methods are applied to the problem of how we perceive our own body in
space. The research will be conducted at the Brain, Body and Self
Laboratory at the Department of Neuroscience (www.ehrssonlab.se). This
center has widespread expertise in fMRI, and the Karolinska Institutet
has two MR-centers with state-of-the-art 3T MR scanners (GE and Siemens,
respectively).
The ideal candidate will have expertise in the acquisition and analysis
of fMRI data, as well as excellent programming skills (preferably
including MatLab and C++). Expertise in multivoxel pattern analysis,
voxel-based receptive field mapping or dynamic causal modeling would be
an advantage, as would an undergraduate education in engineering (or a
related area). The candidate is expected to work on projects in which
advanced fMRI methods are applied to questions relating to how
multisensory signals from the body are integrated at the levels of
cortical and subcortical structures and/or the decoding of body
illusions; however, purely technical projects involving method
development are also possible. Good social skills are important as the
candidate is expected to actively collaborate with other members of the
laboratory, in addition to running his or her own project. Applicants
should be able to demonstrate a consistently good academic record,
including publications in international journals.
