One position for a postdoctoral fellowship

One position for a postdoctoral fellowship has been opened (see details below) in the context of the following project:

Title of the project

In vivo functional characterization of whole brain- and population-level dynamics in genetic mouse models of migraine.

Abstract of the project

Migraine is a remarkably disabling and still poorly understood brain disorder which primarily affects the sensory nervous system. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of unilateral headache and by a global dysfunction in multisensory information processing. Previous investigations at the microcircuit level in genetic models of migraine have revealed significant alterations in the cortical excitatory synaptic transmission due to impaired mechanisms of glutamate release and glutamate clearance.

Settimana Mondiale del Cervello

Webinar, Università di Padova

When: Mar 19th, 2021 – 6:00 pm

Where: Zoom Meeting and live on Facebook

Abstract: La “Brain awareness week” è una ricorrenza annuale dedicata a sollecitare la pubblica consapevolezza nei confronti della ricerca sul cervello. All’iniziativa, coordinata dalla Dana Foundation, partecipano società neuroscientifiche, università, istituti ed enti di ricerca di tutto il mondo.

L’Università di Padova in occasione della Brain Awareness Week, la settimana internazionale di divulgazione delle neuroscienze, propone una serie di incontri online: gli interventi sono tenuti da giovani ricercatori e ricercatrici dell’Università di Padova, appartenenti a diversi dipartimenti e accomunati dallo studio del cervello.

fMRI-based Quantitative Mapping of Human Brain Cerebrovascular and Metabolic Function

by prof. Richard Wise, Universita’ degli Studi “G.d’Annunzio” di Chieti-Pescara

When: Mar 18th, 2021 – 3:00 pm

Where: Zoom meeting

Abstract: In the last 30 years blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) fMRI has taught us a great detail about human brain organisation. However, it only tells us where brain activity is changing without telling us by how much or what the baseline level of activity is. We and others are working on fMRI methods to map the absolute rate of cerebral metabolic oxygen consumption as a marker of the physiological state of brain tissue in health and disease. Development of these methods has resulted in a toolkit for assessing oxygen consumption and cerebrovascular function (including vascular reactivity and arterial compliance) that is yielding interesting results in our pilot clinical studies in epilepsy and multiple sclerosis and in the study of the healthy brain.

Intelligenza artificiale, robotica e macchine intelligenti

Accademia dei Lincei e Fondazione “Guido Donegani”, Roma

When: Mar 5th, 2021 – 9:00 am

Where: Zoom meeting (will be published on Mar 5th). Also live on the Accademia’s channel

Abstract: L’Intelligenza Artificiale è una delle tecnologie che sta trasformando la nostra società e molti aspetti della nostra vita quotidiana. Ha già prodotto molti effetti benefici e può essere sorgente di considerevole prosperità economica. Tuttavia, pone problemi riguardanti, in varia misura, l’occupazione, la riservatezza dei dati, la “privacy”, la violazione di valori etici e la fiducia nei risultati. Problematiche simili, con riferimento a problemi occupazionali, di sicurezza e di possibile violazione di valori etici, si pongono anche per quanto riguarda le trasformazioni che avvengono nella società a seguito dello sviluppo, intimamente connesso a quello dell’AI, dei metodi della robotica e dell’automazione della produzione industriale.

Update sul COVID 19: Population wide serological mass testing of the Municipality of Vò

by prof. Andrea Crisanti, Molecular Medicine Department, University of Padova

When: March 2nd, 2021 – 5:30 pm

Where: Zoom meeting ( https://unipd.zoom.us/j/86572340458 )

PLEASE NOTE. Mandatory enrollment:

To attend the seminar and get the ECM credits you must:

Principal Directions of Mediation

by prof. Martin Lindquist, School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University

When: Feb 18th, 2021 – 4:00 pm

Where: Zoom meeting

Lecture recording: you can find the recording on PNC mediaspace page.

Abstract: Mediation analysis is an important tool in the behavioral sciences for investigating the role of intermediate variables that lie in the path between a randomized treatment/exposure and an outcome variable. The influence of the intermediate variable on the outcome is often explored using structural equation models (SEMs), with model coefficients interpreted as possible effects. While there has been significant research on the topic in recent years, little work has been done on mediation analysis when the intermediate variable (mediator) is a high-dimensional vector.

Network Neuroscience: Going from Nodes to Edges

by prof. Olaf Sporns, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University

When: Jan 28th, 2021 – 3:00 pm

Where: Zoom meeting

Lecture recording: you can find the recording on PNC mediaspace page.

Abstract: It is said that complexity lies between order and disorder. In physiology, complexity issues are being considered with increased emphasis. Of crucial importance in the medical setting, pathological activity has been associated with low variability/complexity. In the case of the nervous system, it is well known that excessive synchronization is connected with pathologies such as epilepsy and Parkinson disease. However, brain rhythms and neural synchronization are also crucial for perception and cognition, so it is clear that either too much or not enough synchronization can lead to dysfunctional brain states.
