Selection notice for the awarding of a Post-Doc position by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo

Title of the Project

“The brain’s dark energy: observation, perturbation, and disruption studies of brain networks to understand cognition and stroke recovery”, P.I. Prof. Maurizio Corbetta

Purpose of the Reasearch Grant

To collect and acquire fMRI, EEG, and TMS/EEG data in a set of healthy controls and stroke patients with first time lesions to understand the relationship between brain metabolism/connectivity measured with MRI, electrophysiology measured with EEG, and the propagation of signals measured with TMS/EEG.
The  post-doc shall be expert in signal analysis, especially with regard to EEG/fMRI, and statistical analysis based on univariate and multivariate methods.

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.
