Research Direction

1. To explore the characteristics and functions of neural circuits in the hippocampus and amygdala of mice.

2. Use gene transgenic mouse firefly to locate specific nerve cells or delete specific genes to explore functional changes

3. Use in vivo optogenetics technology to excite or inhibit specific nerve cells with light sources, and then explore the correlation between neural circuits and behavior.
