介绍


欢迎申请就读苏塞克斯大学的全奖博士学位,参与脑部网络神经科学的研究。


帕金森氏病等许多疾病被称为“振动性疾病”,因为有证据表明,某些主要症状是由关键网络中神经元的病理同步所造成的。一种有前景的治疗方法是基于脑信号的计算处理来在线控制深部脑刺激。因此,有关如何检测和有效破坏病理过程的新认知可迅速转化成患者福利,造福患者。通过使用网络上的振荡模型,该项目将寻求调查条件(无论是振荡器本身还是连通性,或可能会破坏网络动力学与网络动力学之间相互作用的因素),在此条件下,大脑一个小区域的病理性振荡可能会间歇性地“感染”整个大脑网络,从而导致病理症状。该项目将与伦敦大学学院(UCL)的Simon Simoner博士进行积极合作。项目开始日期可变动调整。


这项为期3年的博士生研修机会涵盖学费和每年免税津贴,起价为15,285英镑。还提供研究培训支持补助金。

Job description


Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD scholarship to undertake research in network neuroscience at the University of Sussex.


A number of conditions, such as Parkinson’s Disease, are referred to as ‘oscillopathies’ because there is evidence that some of their major symptoms are underpinned by pathological synchronisation of neurons in key networks. A promising form of treatment is that of online control of deep brain stimulation based on computational processing of brain signals. Therefore, new mathematical insights about how to detect and efficiently disrupt pathological processes can be rapidly translated to patient benefit. Using models of oscillations on networks, this project will seek to investigate the conditions (either on the oscillators themselves, or the connectivity, or factors that may frustrate the interplay between dynamics on and dynamics of the network) under which pathological oscillations in one small area of the brain can intermittently or otherwise ‘infect’ the wider network of the brain causing the pathological symptoms. This project will involve an active collaboration with Dr Simon Farmer at University College London (UCL). Start date is flexible. 


This 3-year studentship includes student fees and a tax-free stipend starting at £15,285 per annum. It also comes with a generous Research Training Support Grant.
