A new Army Research Office (ARO) undergraduate research apprenticeship program (URAP) position is available for the summer of 2021 at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research in Orangeburg, NY (https://www.nki.rfmh.org/). Research will be conducted under the mentorship of Samuel Neymotin, Haroon Anwar, and Salvador Dura-Bernal to help achieve the goals of an ARO grant (PI: Neymotin) that aims to train neocortical circuit models to play video games using biologically-plausible learning rules, and to compare the models? performance against commonly used deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Students will have the opportunity to learn cutting edge methods in computational neuroscience, machine learning, and Python software development, and potentially publish their results.
Candidates will be considered based on their experience in computational neuroscience, machine learning, and Python programming. Candidates must be located within commuting distance to Nathan Kline Institute during the apprenticeship period.
For consideration, please click the link to ?Apply Now? at https://www.usaeop.com/program/undergraduate-apprenticeships/
Make sure to use code U803 (Nathan Kline Institute) and apply by the deadline (March 15, 2021). Letters of recommendation are optional.
For questions, email Samuel.Neymotin@nki.rfmh.org<mailto:Samuel.Neymotin@nki.rfmh.org>

Targeted photostimulation uncovers circuit motifs supporting short-term memory
http://feeds.nature.com/~r/neuro/rss/current/~3/QlUF12L3s1E/s41593-020-00776-3
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 25 January 2021; doi:10.1038/s41593-020-00776-3 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-020-00776-3)Two-photon photostimulation and imaging of a cortical short-term memory circuit reveal intercalated modules that can independently maintain memory. The modules are defined by connectivity between neurons with similar task-related tuning.

Phase-Amplitude Coupling in Neuronal Oscillator Networks
Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) describes the phenomenon where the power of a high-frequency oscillation evolves with the phase of a low-frequency one. We propose a model that explains the emergence of PAC in two commonly-accepted architectures in the brain, namely, a high-frequency neural oscillation driven by an external low-frequency input and two interacting local oscillations with distinct, locally-generated frequencies. We further propose an interconnection structure for brain regions and demonstrate that low-frequency phase synchrony can integrate high-frequency activities regulated by local PAC and control the direction of information flow across distant regions.

💰 Hey, I am hiring at UCNZ UCNZMaths
• 1 fully paid, 3 years, #PhD scholarship
• a bunch of Research Assistant positions
Us: Data Science analysis of Social Networks with a strong Social Justice focus (yes, we're SJW).
You: curious, willing to learn transdisciplinary.
Our research methodology is maths, data and code heavy: hashtag #complexnetworks #DeepLearning #julialang. We also dialogue a lot with other disciplines and take ethics seriously.
The PhD is your adventure: you don't need to know everything in advance; can mix and match.

Can you speak Python?
Are you familiar with the Python programming language, along with the basic packages for scientific computing (NumPy/SciPy/Matplotlib/Pandas)?
To test your knowledge of these basics (and point you to relevant documentation to fill in any gaps), Aalto Scientific Computing team has designed the Gizmo challenge.
