In particular, this NIH-funded project aims to=20 understand how specific cochlear nucleus circuits, including=20 olivocochlear projections, are altered after cochlear synaptopathy.=20 Knowledge about these circuits will assist our understanding of how=20 signals are extracted from background noise and how these are degraded=20 after =E2=80=98hidden hearing loss=E2=80=99.Techniques used include /in v= ivo/,=20 multichannel single-unit electrophysiology and optogenetics to study=20 network architecture and immunocytochemistry to study cochlear synapses. Prior experience in electrophysiology, optogenetics, and quantitative=20 assessment (MATLAB, python=E2=80=A6etc), or immonocytochemistry is desire= d, but=20 candidates with other relevant experience and a strong interest in the=20 role of neural circuits in sensory perception will be considered.
