We are looking for a PhD student at the DZNE Magdeburg in the new Multimodal Neuroimaging (junior) group led by Anne Maass. We look for someone who loves memory and the medial temporal lobe, functional neuroimaging (in humans) , who is interested in cognitive aging and who is not afraid of programming.😉

The are many potential projects and also data sets available. There is also a HiWi position open if you like to do manual segmentation of hippocampus and other brain regions.

Running releases protein associated with improved memory in mice The reason why treadmill training can boost memory recall remains an active area of investigation. A couple of proteins have been shown to fuel exercise-induced neuron growth, but a new study presents a new candidate, cathepsin B -- one that can be directly traced from the muscles to the brain in mi...

Brain Research: A Picture Says More than a Thousand Words Bonn/Magdeburg, Germany, December, 18th, 2015. This December, 19th marks the 100th Anniversary of Alois Alzheimer’s death. Since then, much has happened. Today, modern technology makes it possible to visualize molecular memory processes within the brain and to look into the inside of nerve cells. Th…
