Postdoc position Neuroinformatics at Radboud University Nijmegen,
The Netherlands<br>
<br>
This project 'NeuronsReunited' is about real, physical connections
at the most detailed level, where long-range axons that reach across
the brain target specific neurons in multiple brain areas/layers.
Reliable techniques to fully reconstruct such axons have only
recently become available. Our experimental partner (Clasca, Madrid)
has been pioneering with this and his lab is tracing neurons one by
one at a high level of precision. Several large projects are
underway to map much larger numbers of neurons (MouseLight, Allen
Brain Cell Types), and the goal of this project is to asses the
precision of those large scale projects by comparison with the "gold
standard' neurons used in this project.<br>
<br>
Deliverables of the project include tools for speeding up the
conversion of experimental data into digital axons, and to precisely
place neurons into a digital reference brain to reveal their
context. They are applied to existing and new data in mouse, and the
resulting insights are incorporated into new models for brain
function. <br>
<br>
The project is a collaboration between five international partners,
two experimental partners (Prof. Francisco Clasca, Madrid; Prof.
Egidio d’Angelo, Pavia) and three computational/theoretical partners
(Prof. Paul Tiesinga, Dr. Rembrandt Bakker, Nijmegen; Prof. Michele
Giugliano, Trieste; Prof. Sacha Van Albada, Jülich).<br>
