The successful candidate will work on inhibitory circuits of the prefrontal cortex of mice. In particular, they will study the properties and plasticity of synapses connecting a rich diversity of prefrontal cortical neuron subtypes. The candidate will also perform and analyze electrophysiological recordings in vivo, using high-density Neuropixels probes. This project is part of an ERA-Net NEURON international consortium and focuses on the rich diversity of GABAergic interneurons and their impact on the functional states of prefrontal cortical networks in healthy and diseased states.
