About the Project

A neuroscience PhD studentship in the field of synaptic physiology is available in the laboratory of Prof. Christian Henneberger at the Institute of Cellular Neurosciences (University of Bonn, Germany). The three-year position is part of a larger effort to understand how the precision of information transfer at excitatory synapses is controlled. We will explore how non-neuronal cells determine if glutamatergic synapses are spatially precise or show synaptic crosstalk. Specifically, we will investigate how astrocytes, their structure and their ion signaling modify the spread of the neurotransmitter glutamate in the hippocampal neuropil. This will be achieved by using state-of-the-art optical and electrophysiological methods such as intensity and lifetime based multiphoton fluorescence microscopy of genetically encoded and organic indicators primarily in acute hippocampal brain slices.
