Overview
Position for Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate to study the neural circuits that govern visual processing and learning using multi-tetrode recordings and two-photon imaging.
(Number 166354)
Position at the level of postdoctoral fellow or research associate is available to study the neuronal mechanisms that govern perception and learning. Our focus is to understand the mechanisms of these processes at the circuit level in the visual system. To this end, we employ methods that allow us to study the properties of network of neurons in vivo during behavior. Specifically, we use chronic arrays of tetrodes and in vivo two-photon imaging combined with psychophysical and computational methods. We have developed the capability to record from the same individual neurons across multiple days in awake, behaving primates that gives us the unique opportunity to study how circuits reorganize in vivo during learning. Our lab has also strong interest to develop new technologies to record from interconnected neural circuits using novel imaging and multi-electrode recording methods and also to develop methods – including molecular tools - to manipulate the activity of circuits in vivo. The research scientists for these positions will have the opportunity to study brain mechanisms of behavior using one or a combination of these methods in either rodent or primate animal models.

Position for Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate to study learning and manipulate plasticity using fMRI, combined fMRI-microstimulation and multi-tetrode recordings.
(Number 166353)
Position at the level of postdoctoral fellow or research associate is available to study the mechanisms of plasticity in vivo using electrophysiology and fMRI in primates. We employ fMRI in non-human primates to characterize the global organization and re-organization of neural networks that are involved in visual processing and learning. Detailed analysis of the functional properties of individual neurons in these areas and interactions between neurons is done using arrays of chronically implanted tetrodes. This method allows us to record from the same individual neurons across multiple days in awake, behaving primates and thus analyze how circuits reorganize in vivo during plasticity a the single cell level. We also combine fMRI with electrical microstimulation to identify functionally connected circuits and manipulate their activity.
