PhD Scholarships in Neuroscience & Brain Technologies at combined Italian School of Technology (IIT) and University of Genova (UNIGE), Italy
This scholarship is shared by two Institutes in Genova city of Italy, one is University of Genova and other is Italian Institute of Technology, IIT at School of Life and Humanoid Technologies.
The themes of the Doctoral Course on Neuroscience & Brain Technologies have been defined by the
Presynaptic disorders in a model of human hereditary epilepsy
Optogenetically driven homeostatic plasticity in epileptogenesis
Development and application of opto-neural interfaces and prosthetic devices based on organic electronics (2 positions available)
Investigating the inhibitory-excitatory balance in neuronal networks by multi-modal electrophysiological imaging
Cellular determinants of brain circuit development and wiring
Presynaptic targeting of optogenetic probes
Characterization of the neurodynamics of in vitro engineered networks to be interfaced with computational artificial systems
Alpha-synuclein interaction with the plasma membrane of neurons.
Two-photon holographic microscopy for the optical dissection of cortical networks
Modeling and simulations of optogenetic probes to modulate gene expression and neuronal excitability
Cellular and synaptic mechanisms of lesion-driven plasticity in cortical circuits in vivo
Role of cell-type specific cortical connectivity in circuit functioning and plasticity
Study of cognitive dysfunctions relevant to schizophrenia in mice
Cognitive Impairment in Polyglutamine Diseases
Transcription dysregulation in motor neuron diseases
Neuronal circuit integration in the physiology and pathophysiology of action control
Scholarship Positions: 17 positions
Scholarship Amount
The scholarship amount is normally about 1300 Euros per month, it can be increased, but not sure yet.
Tuition fee and registration fee are exempted.
Last Date to Apply: 21 September, 2012.
