Description:
The laboratory of Dr. Martin Parent is seeking highly motivated students with a university degree to undertake a PhD program in Neuroscience at Université Laval.

The proposed research projects aim at characterizing alterations of neuronal circuits that occur in Parkinson’s disease using animal models and post-mortem human brains, and those that characterize long-term pharmacological and neurosurgical treatments.
