Ihre Aufgaben
- Spatial Transcriptomics and Memory Circuits: The project combines advanced neuroimaging, engram technologies, circuit manipulation approaches, and spatial transcriptomics to investigate how local cellular and neuronal network dynamics shape synaptic connectivity underlying memory consolidation. The successful candidate will have a strong background in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience
- Brain Stimulation and Cognitive Aging: This project investigates how brain stimulation approaches can support cognitive reserve and brain maintenance in preclinical and clinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Keywords: Brain stimulation, preclinical and clinical Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive reserve, and brain maintenance
- Successful Cognitive Aging – SuperAger (OVGU): This project investigates a deeply phenotyped Aging and SuperAging cohort to identify molecular, structural, and functional mechanisms of successful cognitive aging by integrating longitudinal multimodal brain data and advanced multivariate neuroimaging methods to study brain resilience, reserve, and maintenance. Particular emphasis will be placed on sex/gender differences, inflammatory processes, and alterations in functional brain networks as key determinants of healthy cognitive aging and resilience to neurodegenerative disease. Keywords: analysis of longitudinal, multimodal brain data, experience with human brain imaging (e.g. PET, MRI), image analysis toolkits (e.g., SPM, FreeSurfer, FSL), and with modelling approaches
- Autobiographical Memory Capture and Cognitive Intervention: The fourth project investigates whether self-recorded everyday memories, rather than standardized lab stimuli, can serve as both diagnostic markers and personalized training material to support cognitive reserve in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, combining high-field functional MRI with smartphone-based digital cognitive assessment and digital intervention. Keywords: autobiographical memory, cognitive reserve, self-generated stimuli, event segmentation, high-field fMRI, smartphone-based digital assessment, memory training, preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.
