I was reminded of some old studies by Toukhsati and Rickard on how rhythms can facilitate learning in young chickens, which have been mostly ignored over the years, probably because they were ahead of their time.
But they seem especially relevant to those of us in music cognition who are increasingly interested in the neural mechanism of rhythm, beat, meter, and groove in both humans and non-human animals. Not to mention the health and education applications of music!
And we also have another PostDoc position available - this time on transcranial magnetic stimulation as a therapeutic approach in Parkinson's disease.
Application deadline already April 14th!
You will become part of the collaborative "ADAptive and Precise Targeting of cortex-basal ganglia circuits in Parkinson´s Disease” (ADAPT-PD) research alliance. ADAPT-PD is a multidisciplinary project at the @DRCMR in Copenhagen and involves collaboration with Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Co-PI: Andrea Kuehn) and Lund University (Co-PI: Angela Cenci).
How about a PostDoc in beautiful Copenhagen on brain network analysis of diffusion data in developmental neuropsychiatry?
You would be working at the interdisciplinary @DRCMR as part of the Danish High Risk and Resilience Study (VIA) (www.drcmr.dk/via). The VIA study longitudinally follows the largest register-based cohort of children (n=522) in the world born to parents with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or none of these disorders.

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst
Made me ask: what is the job of an editor in chief, and what kind of qualifications should an applicant have? And what kind of job is it – full time job, or part time? Paid or not? A practising scientist or a dedicated specialist? The ad doesn't specify much beyond the obvious.
PhD student Imke Schuurmans and team have come up with a comprehensive one-step #differentiation protocol for turning human #iPSCs directly into functional Astrocytes, and how to co-culture them with induced human neurons on multi-electrode arrays for #electrophysiology.
Cryo-ET of the SC-CA1 hippocampal connection from Eric Gouaux group. Nice confirmation that GluA2 N-terminus is closer to the pre-synapse than to the post-synapse!
