The selected candidate will join a collaborative multidisciplinary project, as part of a Spanish consortium aiming to achieve neurostimulation in deep areas of the brain through non-invasive approaches. The candidate would participate, specifically, in a sub-project led by Dr. Federico N. Soria (Gliomatrix), aimed to mimic dopaminergic modulation of striatal neurons with plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticles. The project employs animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD), in vivo electrophysiology and calcium imaging, motor behavior and histological analysis.
