Group Introduction
Research Area:
Circuit Mechanism of Emotion
Research Interests:
We develop and apply cutting-edge methods, by combining optical imaging, neuromodulation, genetic labeling and circuit tracings to functional dissect the neural mechanisms of emotion and associated psychiatric diseases. The laboratory has state-of-the-art optical imaging instruments (two-photon microscope, gradient refraction lens, fiber photometric measurement). We are using these new methods to attack several related neurobiological questions: 1. Stress neurobiology; 2. Circuit mechanisms of neuropsychopharmacology; 3. New strategies for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Our research will contribute to the treatment of important mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety.
