 Shih-Chieh Lin (林士傑), MD, PhD, Investigator, Neural Circuits and Cognition Unit Laboratory of Experimental Gerontology The
goal of my research is to understand how cognitive functions are
mediated by interactions of cortical and subcortical circuits.
The primary focus is to elucidate the roles of basal forebrain neuronal
populations in top-down attention. To gain a broad perspective on this
issue, I investigate how cortical activity is dynamically shaped by
basal forebrain inputs, how basal forebrain neuronal activity may be
controlled by cortical and other inputs, and how this interaction may serve
important behavioral functions such as attention. See my research interests for details. Postdoc positions to study Neural Circuits and Cognition at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, Maryland. Recent PhDs with interests and background in attention, reward
or basal forebrain circuitry are
especially encouraged to apply. Feel free to contact me if you have any question regarding these positions. |
