Connectionists: PhD studentship in the Humphries lab

[Mark Humphries]

A potentially fully-funded UK/EU PhD studentship project is available in the Humphries lab at the University of Manchester, UK

A wide range of neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Tourette's syndrome have been linked to the aberrant activity of output neurons in the massive, subcortical striatum. It is unknown how such aberrant activity arises from the changes to the brain known to occur in these disorders. This project will test the hypothesis that the network of fast-spiking interneurons within the striatum are a common cause of this aberrant activity.
