Dear all,
We seek a postdoctoral fellow to work on an NIH-funded project titled "Narrowing the mechanistic gap for anterior prefrontal cortex function" at the University of California Berkeley. This project targets the lateral aspect of anterior PFC, a brain region whose anatomy in humans is not clearly defined and whose fundamental role in cognition is poorly understood. At a descriptive level, aLPFC is involved in higher-level cognitive abilities such as planning, multi-tasking, reasoning, memory retrieval monitoring, and decision-making. Here, we seek to investigate its function at a more granular level in multiple ways, including high-resolution fMRI and diffusion-weighted imaging on the NexGen 7 Tesla scanner at the Brain Imaging Center at UC Berkeley.
Thanks,
Allison
