Research position for motivated undergraduate student interested in EEG signal processing with Matlab programming experience.
Assessing the impact of psychometric factors on the efficacy of interlaminar epidural steroid injections for lumbar radicular pain
Interested in how the brain sustains consciousness, the pathophysiology of coma, the prediction of recovery after brain injury, neuroimaging, philosophy of mind, or the ethics surrounding any of these issues? The Recovery of Consciousness Via Evidence-Based Medicine and Research (RECOVER) Program is a unique initiative at Penn that integrates clinical care and research for patients in coma.
Research position for motivated undergraduate student interested in topics on EEG signal processing, machine learning, biomedical informatics to improve outcomes, or hospital sustainability topics.
Improving obstetric anesthesia procedures
How doses a single dose of serotonergic medicine like a psychedelic provide rapid and durable therapeutic effects in dissimilar brain diseases?
Exploring diverse research topics in pediatric anesthesiology, including pediatric difficult airway management, pediatric perioperative opioid use, EEG in infants under anesthesia, maternal-fetal anesthesia, neonatal perioperative outcomes, and others.
In the coming year, we are looking for new members to help us with these studies in rodents:
* Activity of hippocampal dentate gyrus neurons during memory consolidation (NIH/NIMH funded project)
* Role of neuroinflammation in disrupted brain-bladder communication (NIH/NIDDK funded project)
* Assess the collection of dentate gyrus neurons active in the early stage of opioid addiction (pilot studies)
* Assess behavior of mice who flew on the International Space Station (pilot studies)
