PhD Position: Multisynaptic Plasticity in Dendrites - Radboud University, Netherlands

Radboud University · Netherlands

Radboud University invites applications for a PhD position on multisynaptic plasticity in dendrites, based in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. The project investigates how plasticity spreads across multiple synaptic sites on dendrites of hippocampal CA1 neurons, using advanced optical techniques including two-photon glutamate uncaging and genetically encoded biosensors.
