PhD Opportunity: Investigating Insula Function

We invite applications for a PhD position to study the role of the insula in regulating tic-like movements and other associated behaviors in rodents.

About the Project

This project combines cutting-edge techniques in neuroscience to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying motor control and develop innovative treatments for Tourette's syndrome.

Key Research Aims
  1. To investigate the functional relationship between insula activity and tic-like movements in rats
  2. To design and implement novel non-invasive neuromodulation strategies for treating Tourette's syndrome
Research Approach

The successful candidate will utilize intracranial drug microinfusions to modulate insula function in rats. Behavioral, electrophysiological, and imaging measurements will be employed to evaluate the effects of these manipulations on tic-like behaviors.

Collaboration Opportunities

This project will be conducted in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute of Neurobiology (Germany) and Neupulse, a neurotech start-up focused on developing neuromodulation technologies.

Programme Details

The PhD programme typically lasts for 4 years and comes with a UKRI PhD stipend (£19,237 in 24/25).

Please be aware that salary information may vary based on the institution's policies and location.
