The cellular secret of how memories are made, and lost
From: SickKids news Scientists use a peptide to strengthen connections between brain cells and restore memory in a pre-clinical model. Research led at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is illuminating the mechanism underlying memory, which could result in future therapeutic targets for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is a condition…

MSc or PhD student: Vascular repair mechanisms following traumatic brain injury – University of Manitoba
Project description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes the loss of vascular cells and dysfunctional blood flow, which limits oxygen and nutrient support to the tissue. This exacerbates cell death and prevents the activation of neurorepair mechanisms involving neural stem cells (NSCs). Strategies to improve cerebral vascular repair have the potential to promote successful neuro-regeneration and…

Graduate student and post-doctoral positions: Neural basis of motor learning and performance, McGill University
The Sakata lab at McGill University is looking for motivated graduate (PhD) students and postdoctoral fellows to investigate the contribution of perineuronal nets (PNNs) and parvalbumin (PV) neurons in motor circuitry to motor performance and learning (see PDF). This CIHR-funded research program is comparative, involving experiments in songbirds (zebra finches) and mice, and conducted in…

Post-doctoral or PhD Position for the development of a neuroprosthesis that supports the production of complex movements – Université de Montréal
A PhD position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Numa Dancause at the Université de Montréal, Department of Neurosciences. Our group investigates the mechanisms underlying movement control, neural plasticity involved in motor recovery post-brain injury, and the effects of neuromodulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the brain. We employ rodent…

Postdoctoral Associate, Neuroscience – Joy lab at Jackson Laboratory
The Joy lab is looking for a motivated postdoctoral candidate interested in studying circuit repair and motor behavior after stroke with the goal of identifying translatable therapies for stroke recovery. The focus of the lab is to determine how brain circuits reorganize after a stroke, contributions of these reorganizational process to motor function, molecular signatures…

Position for a postdoctoral fellowship in neurorehabilitation – Université de Montréal
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in the areas of electrophysiology and neurorehabilitation with healthy participants and individuals who sustained a lesion to the spinal cord (spinal cord injury) or brain (stroke). Current projects examine mechanisms of locomotion, balance control and upper limb motor control. Using electrophysiological (TMS, EEG, electrical stimulation)…
