The NeuroSchool PhD Program of Aix-Marseille University (France) has launched its annual calls for PhD contracts for students with a master’s degree in a non-French university and for international co-supervised PhDs.

The missions will be part of a collaborative research project on the physiological role of the Aη peptide in modulating the NMDA receptor, and its impact on brain function and social cognition in mice. Thanks to transgenic animals over-expressing or under-expressing the Aη peptide, the researcher will carry out a characterization of the role of this peptide in social behavior and in calcium dynamics in hippocampo-prefrontal circuit during these behaviors, using in-vivo recording of calcium dynamic in neurons of behaving animals.

A 3-year PhD position is avaible in the Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences Laboratory (LNEC, INSERM U-1084, University of Poitiers)  to work on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying maladaptive choices.

L’objectif de ce travail est, dans un premier temps, de déterminer la prévalence d’un trouble anxiodépressif, du sommeil ou de l’usage d’alcool chez des patients de plus de 50 ans vus pour un bilan neuropsychologique en consultation mémoire en Normandie ainsi que dans la région lyonnaise. Dans un second temps, nous examinerons les liens entre la présence d’un ou plusieurs de ces facteurs (troubles anxiodépressifs, du sommeil et de l’usage d’alcool) d’une part et la sémiologie neuropsychologique, le diagnostic, et la nature/sévérité de la plainte d’autre part. Nous explorerons aussi les liens entre l’âge, le sexe et le niveau d’éducation d’une part, et les troubles anxio-dépressifs,
du sommeil et de l’usage d’alcool d’autre part. Enfin, les liens entre ces troubles et les difficultés rencontrées en vie quotidienne par le patient seront également étudiés.
