Phd Position: Dopaminergic Control of Brainstem

Sherbrooke, Canada Université de Sherbrooke Full time

**PhD position: Dopaminergic control of brainstem locomotor circuits**:

- Réf **ABG-119973**
- Sujet de Thèse- 05/02/2024- Financement public/privé- Université de Sherbrooke- Lieu de travail- Sherbrooke - Canada- Intitulé du sujet- PhD position: Dopaminergic control of brainstem locomotor circuits- Champs scientifiques- Psychologie, neurosciences
- Mots clés- Dopamine, neuroscience, locomotion**Description du sujet**:
The locomotor role of dopaminergic cells is classically attributed to their ascending projections to the basal ganglia that project to the Mesencephalic Locomotor Region (MLR), a brainstem region that controls locomotion. However, descending projections to the MLR were uncovered (Ryczko et al. PNAS 2013, PNAS 2016, J Neurosci 2017, J Neurosci 2020). In lamprey, this descending pathway increases locomotor activity. In mammals, the role of such innervation remains to be determined.
The student will address this issue using patch-clamp electrophysiology and optogenetics in brain slices, calcium imaging, viral tracing, in vivo optogenetics and movement analysis in mice. The new knowledge will provide a better understanding of the relation between dopaminergic and locomotor neurons and help identify new clinical strategies to improve locomotor function in Parkinson’s disease.
