RESEARCH INTERESTS: Impact of myelin plasticity on synaptic activity and excitability. The project will use chemogenetic tools (transgenic mice available) to selectively stimulate oligodendrocytes (OLs) and it will use a battery of techniques (patch clamp electrophysiology; electron, confocal and two-photon microscopy) to analyze the functional consequences on axonal function and synaptic activity.
Requirements:
• Experience in electrophysiology and imaging.
• First-author publication record in international peer-reviewed journals
Interested applicants should submit a motivation letter, a CV and 2 letters of reference from a current/previous supervisor to María Domercq (maria.domercq@ehu.es) BEFORE 24th DECEMBER 2020, indicating “Myelin Postdoc” in the email subject.
