If the student was really competent I am looking for a research assistant throughout the academic year on a part-time basis, maybe the equivalent of one day a week, but open to see what available and what expectations of students and program are. Depends on the match as to how student can be involved. Some aspects of work in the lab could benefit from the person having expertise in both English and French |

Synaptic plasticity, Ion-channels, Drug-discovery, Autism, Electrophysiology |
The Bowie Lab uses a combination of techniques to study ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), GABA-A receptors and more recently, Na+ channels. All ion-channel families are widespread in the vertebrate brain and fulfill many important roles in healthy individuals as well as being implicated in disease states associated with postnatal development (e.g. Autism, Schizophrenia), cerebral insult (e.g. Stroke, Epilepsy) and aging disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsonism). We are looking at iGluRs, GABA-A receptors and Na+ channels at two inter-related levels. In molecular terms, we are examining the events that occur when each ion-channel family is activated with the aim of developing novel therapeutic compounds. At the cellular level, we are studying the role that iGluRs, GABA-A receptors and Na+ channels fulfill in shaping the behaviour of neuronal circuits and how these processes may be corrected in disease states. |

Kathy Mullen |
Montreal General Hospital | Human vision, especially colour vision |
Involves testing human vision with a view to understanding how the brain processes visual information. We are interested in linking visual behaviour with results from the visual cortex obtained from fMRI scans of human subjects. The project would involve behavioural measurements of vision, especially colour vision. |

MNI | Neuroimaging, Epilepsy | The Neuroimaging of Epilepsy Lab (NOEL) is located in the McConnell Brain Imaging Center of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI). Our research focuses on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and computational neuroscience. We study patients with epilepsy using structural and functional MRI to perform brain lesion modelling and connectivity analyses. |

Daniel Guitton |
MNI | Oculomotor control, vision and eye movements, eye movement deficits in neurology patients | The interested student must be very familiar with the MatLab programming language. They would be required to write a program to test neurology patients and normal, control subjects in different eye movement control tasks; e.g. see Guitton et al. Experimental Brain Research (1985); or Rath-Wilson and Guitton, Brain (2015). I have limited reserves on my NSERC grant and depending on current balance could pay or not the interested student. | AV AF A$ ACr |
