towards an integrative model of the relationship between episodic memory and novelty detection through a behavioural and neuropsychological approach

as memorizing new information relies on distinguishing the new from the familiar novelty detection is closely tied to memory yet the exact nature of this link remains unclearare they two sides of the same function or rather distinct yet interacting processes critically there are different types of novelty absolute new stimulus or contextual familiar stimulus in unexpected context the ultimate goal of the msca denovo project is to develop an integrative model of the relationships between episodic memory and these novelty types specifically i will test the way novelty types interact with memory unitary relation for absolute vs independence for contextual i will design innovative tasks and use complementary approaches of neuroimaging neuropsychology and cognitive psychology in 3 work packagesi a correlational study in volunteers aged 55 to examine the relationship between novelty and memory ii a neuropsychological study with memoryimpaired patients probable alzheimers disease ad and amnestic mild cognitive impairment to probe the impact of underlying brains network dysfunction and to characterize the patterns of impairments across novelty types at ad stages and iii analysis of longitudinal data from a cohort of subjects aged 60 to study the temporality of changes in novelty types in relation to memory decline and brain regions atrophy beyond groundbreaking advances in understanding memory function the insights will be of great interest to clinicians for both diagnosis and rehabilitation of memory disorders altered precociously in ad absolute novelty may be an early diagnosis marker while contextual novelty which boosts memory encoding may be a compensation strategy personally thanks to the expertise of my host and secondment labs denovo will equip me with essential technical and clinical skills advancing my longterm career goal of conducting research using neuropsychological approaches to study episodic memory function
seeing in the new light photoreceptor expression system for cyanobacteria

cyanobacteria the green microbial factories are able to produce important biochemicals such as biofuel and bioplastics that offer a timely solution to many of the environmental challenges of our time such as pollution and fuel security the stability of the process and production yield however are dependent on the optimum synthesis of the enzymes involved in their metabolic processes the goal of this research is to create a cyanobacterial expression tool that responds to red light based on a phytochrome photoreceptor this tool will enable precise and highly tunable control of cyanobacterial gene expression with two wavelengths of red light while the study is expected to show the potential of photoswitches for controlling biological processes it will likely disclose distinct obstacles in the search for an ideal cyanobacterial expression system the project will start with the construction of expression plasmids and their application to the cyanobacterium synechocystis sp pcc 6803 the light responses of the resulting expression strains will then be tested by illumination experiments where the increased expression of the reporter green fluorescent protein will be detected with fluorescence spectroscopy the proposed 24month project will take place at the university of jyvaskyla finland under the supervision of dr heikki takala the project also includes a twomonth secondment training session at the laboratory of prof andreas möglich at the university of bayreuth germany this project is designed to combine the skills of the researcher in cyanobacterial studies and the expertise of the supervisor in phytochrome biology overall the planned activity is methodically structured to nurture new abilities while addressing knowledge gaps the project will provide the applicant with academic excellence leading to higher prospects for a tenured academic position in europe
