Description: The PhD Program in Neuroscience of Aix-Marseille University (AMU) offers 3 PhD contracts to students who have validated a Master’s degree outside France. The contracts are fully funded by NeuroSchool (nEURo*AMU, ANR-17-EURE-0029).

Three of the following proposed projects will be funded :

  1. ASSAIANTE Christine (CRPN), RANJEVA Jean-Philippe (CRMBM): Understanding the role of sensorimotor representation in dyslexia: neural basis and impact of comorbidity
  2. BECLIN Christophe (IBDM): Role of micro-RNAs in the fate determination of neural progenitors during cortex development in the mouse brain
  3. BERNARD-MARISSAL Nathalie (MMG), MARISSAL Thomas (INMED): Oligodendrocytes: a key metabolic support for energy-voracious parvalbumin neurons?
  4. BROCHIER Thomas & MEIRHAEGHE Nicolas (INT): Neural decoding of motor cortex dynamics during learning of skilled arm movements
  5. GESTREAU Christian & MENUET Clément (INMED): Cracking the neuronal code that generates the breathing rhythm
  6. JIRSA Viktor & DEPANNEMAECKER Damien (INS): Multiscale Models to Link Cellular Mechanisms of Dopamine Neuromodulation to whole-brain Dynamics
  7. MANENT Jean-Bernard (INMED): Multimodal profiling of epilepsy onset and progression in preclinical models of cortical malformations
  8. MASSON Guillaume & CAZETTES Fanny (INT): Identifying the distributed neural circuit for strategy selection
  9. MOYON Sarah (INP): Role of oligodendroglial cells in Alzheimer’s Disease pathology
  10. NIVET Emmanuel (INP): Human iPSC-based modeling platforms to study the consequences of astrocytic reactivity in Alzheimer's disease: from molecular investigations to candidate validation
  11. OUAGAZZAL Abdel-Mouttalib (CRPN): Cortico-pallidal circuits and motor functions: optogenetic, fiber photometry and behavioral studies in normal and Parkinsonian mice
  12. PAPANDREOU Marie-Jeanne (INP): Axonal zoning: interplay between presynapses and the periodic actin-spectrin scaffold
  13. WANAVERBECQ Nicolas & TROUSLARD Jérôme (INT): Are spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid contacting neurons novel interoceptors involved in the modulation of supraspinal autonomic centers?
