Dr E Amico

This PhD position at the University of Birmingham centers on the thalamus, a crucial but often overlooked deep brain structure in human neuroscience. While much research has traditionally focused on the cerebral cortex, this project aims to advance understanding of the thalamus and its role in brain function. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in neuroanatomy, brain connectivity, and cognitive neuroscience. Applicants will join a vibrant academic environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary collaboration. Funding details, eligibility requirements, and application procedures are not specified in the current description. Interested candidates should monitor the University of Birmingham’s official channels for further information and updates.

This PhD position at the University of Birmingham focuses on the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (FUS), to modulate neural excitability. The project aims to advance understanding of how these technologies can influence brain function and potentially contribute to therapeutic interventions for neurological and psychiatric conditions. The research will likely involve experimental work with human participants or models, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and protocols to assess the effects of NIBS on neural activity. The University of Birmingham offers a vibrant neuroscience research environment with access to interdisciplinary expertise and resources. Funding details, eligibility criteria, and application procedures are not specified in the provided description. Interested candidates are encouraged to seek further information from the university's official channels.

This PhD position at the University of Birmingham investigates how brains age, remain healthy, or develop diseases such as Alzheimer's. The research spans multiple levels of analysis, from molecular and cellular changes to whole-brain connectome alterations. The project aims to uncover the biological mechanisms underlying healthy ageing and neurodegeneration, with a particular focus on Alzheimer's disease. Students will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge techniques in neurobiology, including molecular and cellular assays, as well as advanced imaging and connectomics. The position is ideal for candidates interested in understanding the complex interplay between biological processes and brain health, and in contributing to the development of strategies for maintaining cognitive function and preventing disease. The University of Birmingham provides a vibrant research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary collaboration. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested applicants should consult the university's website or contact the relevant department for further information about application procedures and eligibility criteria.
