DETAILS OF THE OFFER

Working place: Collège de France, CNRS, Inserm /  groups of Cathie Ventalon (IBENS) and Michaël Zugaro (CIRB, Collège de France).

Missions:

The scientific project focuses on the development of novel calcium imaging methods to record neuronal activity in freely-behaving mice, in order to investigate hippocampal dynamics underlying learning and memory. We have developed a fiberscope that allows for fast fluorescence confocal imaging (100 Hz) of GCaMP indicators during behavior and sleep. Building upon our prototype described in [1], our fiberscope can measure place fields and their evolution during multiple imaging sessions.

Qualifications:

• Brain surgery in mice (AAV injections, implantation of chronic windows, implantation of extracellular electrodes)
• Recording neuronal activity using calcium imaging and electrophysiology (LFP)
• Animal training
• Data analysis

Selection will be open until the position is filled
