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.

Abstract of the Project

The purpose of this research grant is that the research fellow must have skills in the analysis of magnetic resonance images with particular reference to methods of estimating functional connectivity, quantification of activation maps through GLM, and analysis of spatial and temporal patterns with techniques such as multi-voxel pattern analysis, clustering, independent component analysis.

The research assistant must also be familiar with the main parametric and non-parametric statistical tests and statistical analyzes based on permutation.

The ideal fellow has a good / excellent programming experience in Python and / or Matlab and knowledge of the main software for analyzing fMRI images.

The interviews will take place on November 18th, 2020 at 12:30 – CET.

Abstract of the Project

This project aims to understand whether multivariate spatial patterns of activity measured with fMRI evoked by natural visual stimuli (e.g. faces, bodies, etc., presented through images or movies) are also represented in multi-variate spatial patterns of resting-state activity. Previous work has shown that in object-selective category regions of visual cortex (e.g. FFA), multi-vertex resting state activity patterns correlate more strongly, and more frequently, with category selective multi-vertex evoked activity patterns for the specific category (e.g. faces) as compared to other categories (e.g. bodies) (Kim et al.

Research Assistant position (12 months; 25 KE) as part of clinical research for the project: Clinical-instrumental screening for the assessment of psycho-pathological, cognitive and sleep disorders in Covid-19 survivors strting in October/November 2012

A call for admission to a Research Grant in bio-optics, microscopy, nano-optics (curriculum in physics, biotechnologies, materials science, biophysics) is open at the group of Nanodevices of Dept. of Physics and Astronomy.

Title of the project

Two photon microscopy for the study of tissue recellularization.

Abstract of the project

The innovative branch of Regenerative Medicine intends to restore the physiological function of damaged or diseased tissues by stimulating repair processes. The grant is proposed within the framework of LIFE LAB that is a large interdisciplinary project that aims at regenerating whole organs, such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys as well as by reconstructing tissues.

Title of the project

Multi-variate analysis of resting state activity and visually evoked response to natural stimuli to map the representation of information in intrinsic brain activity

Abstract of the project

This project aims to understand whether multivariate spatial patterns of activity measured with fMRI evoked by natural visual stimuli (e.g. faces, bodies, etc.) or by movie stimuli are also represented in multi-variate spatial patterns of resting-state activity. Previous work from the PI lab has shown that in object selective category regions of visual cortex (e.g.
