research area Neuroscience coordinator committee Mathew E. Diamond Raffaella Rumiati Enrico Cherubini Giuseppe Legname Andrea Nistri Dario Olivieri A variety of research groups are active in Neuroscience, spanning Cognitive Neuroscience, aimed at understanding how the brain produces behavior, and Neurobiology, investigating the molecular, cellular and integrative mechanisms at work in the nervous system. Cognitive neuroscientists focus on functions expressed by an entire system, where the system may be a baby learning to speak or a population of neurons storing a new memory. The observation of brain-lesioned patients, the recording of neuronal activity, whether at the level of neurons or by imaging the whole brain, nd the analysis of mathematical models all contribute to the same goal. Neurobiologists seek to explain the underlying processes that ultimately account for behavior and for its dysfunction at the level of molecules, cells, networks and integrated systems. To carry out such complex studies, a variety of experimental approaches and scientific disciplines are required, ranging from mathematics and physics to biology. research area NEUROSCIENCE Additional information about the courses and the research activity can be found at: http://www.sissa.it/cns/ Info: [email protected] Cognitive Neuroscience Cognitive Neuroscience aims at understanding the relationship between brain and behavior, at all different levels. Like all other PhD programs at SISSA, the curriculum in Cognitive Neuroscience, leading to the PhD in Neuroscience, is in English and caters to students from all over the world. The core component of the curriculum is the original research work performed by the student. The main research lines are well described by the list of our laboratories: ·Cognitive Neuropsychology and Brain Imaging ·Language, Cognition and Development Lab ·Tactile Perception and Learning Lab ·LIMBO - Liminar Investigations in Memory and Brain Organization ·Visual Neuroscience Lab ·Collective Emotions and Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab ·Social Cognition & Integrative Neuroscience (SCIN) ·Neuroimaging and Attention Lab Short fellowships may be awarded to students who will sit the entrance exam. Such fellowships will cover travel and accommodation expenses and will entitle students to stay in the school before the selection. COORDINATOR mathew e. diamond THE MOST RECENT PLACEMENTS AFTER PHD AT SISSA • Harvard University Cambridge, USA • Princeton University Princeton, USA • Norwegian University for Science and Technology Trondheim, Norway • Glasgow University Glasgow, Scotland, UK • Manchester University Manchester, UK • Université de Genève Geneva, Switzerland • University of Southern California Los Angeles, USA • Radboud University Nijmegen Nijmegen, Netherlands • Sydney University Sydney, Australia research area NEUROSCIENCE Functional and Structural Genomics The main mission of the PhD Course in Structural and Functional Genomics is to train enthusiastic young scientists addressing their interests in a broad spectrum of biological research disciplines. Projects within the PhD Course Program span from genomics, transcriptomics and developmental genetics to structural biology, molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration and developmental neurobiology. Crossing over research such as system biology may have a prominent role within the PhD Course Program. Students are continuously in touch with cutting-edge research by attending classes, seminars and workshops throughout the year. The average teacher-student ratio is about 1 to 5. The main research interests are: ·Functional Genomics of the Brain ·Developmental Genomics ·Systems Biology ·Nanotechnology for Biological Sciences ·Structural Biology of Prion Protein ·Structural Biology of DNA Replication ·Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration ·Synthetic Prions ·Molecular Physiology ·Drug Discovery Additional information about the courses and the research activity can be found at: http://www.sissa.it/phdgenomics/ Info: [email protected] Short fellowships may be awarded to students who will sit the entrance exam.

Neurobiology The Neurobiology Sector of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) has PhD fellowships available for training and research in molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience. Tuition starts in November and is organized in courses and seminars held by the teaching staff and by external lecturers, together with a series of methods courses to introduce students to the techniques applied in current research. Students are also encouraged to attend courses of their interest organized by the Cognitive Neuroscience group. Main research lines: ·Cellular and network mechanisms of neurotransmitters ·Synaptic plasticity in development ·Sensory systems ·Regeneration of immature spinal cord after injury ·Neuronal and artificial computation COORDINATOR andrea nistri THE MOST RECENT PLACEMENTS AFTER PHD AT SISSA • University College London London, UK • CNRS France • Baylor College of Medicine Huston, USA • Monell Chemical Senses Center Philadelphia, USA • Karolinska Institutet Solna, Sweden • Universität Heidelberg Heidelberg, Germany Columbia University New York, USA • University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada • Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin, Germany
