Interns - please read.
by Claire Fox 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Dear All, I would be very grateful it you would consider a placement on your YNiC Project for a psychology student looking for an intern placement this summer as we have had numerous requests. Having spoken to the legal department I can confirm, an intern can be offered a non-paid placement for up to 8 weeks, volunteering to assist on research projects and obtain some valuable experience. This can be an excellent opportunity for outreach activity and these students, whilst gaining valuable skills, can be of use to your research laboratory by assisting existing students. If you would like their contact details or any further information please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, Thank you and best wishes, Claire -- Claire Fox PA to Professor Gary Green The York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way Science Park York YO10 5NY Tel: 01904 435329 Fax: 01904 435356 Email: Claire.fox(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Website: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/ E-mail disclaimer: http://www.york.ac.uk/docs/disclaimer/email.htm

Fwd: PhD position, imaging neuroscience of learning and memory, Hamburg, Germany
by Gary Green 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

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 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

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 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

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 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

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.
