Neurocentre Magendie had the pleasure of welcoming 11 PhD candidates from U.S. universities on Tuesday as part of the FADEX Precision Psychiatry program, a one-week immersion into the French research ecosystem.

We seek a highly motivated and proactive team player to join our international group. In this collaborative project (collaborator: Brice Bathellier at Institut Pasteur), you will study the dysfunctional maturation of prefrontal cortex ensembles in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease using population activity measures (miniscope or mini-2-photon calcium imaging) together with innovative tools for labeling and computational approaches. Please see our recent paper on bioRxiv for some context of the project: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.13.612936v1
