Students
The group of Dr. Magdalene Schlesiger has positions open for PhD, Medical and Master students. The projects aim to investigate how the formation of long-term memories is altered by the addiction to drugs such as amphetamine and cocaine and will use sophisticated electrophysiological in vivo recordings from large ensembles of neurons in mice performing memory tasks.
