Postdoc opportunity to investigate the role of noradrenaline in Alzheimer's disease. Require: strong fMRI (fMRS) skills and interest in predictive coding. The Martinos Center in Boston is a superb place to work. Reach out for info; I will be in London (AAIC) and NL in July shorturl.at/1HSey

“Locus coeruleus activation transforms cortical taste representations”
We asked how a major neuromodulatory system reshapes cortical taste coding toward behaviorally meaningful features.
