Research Areas
Defensive behavior is essential for the survival of all species. Epilepsy is a circuit-level dysfunction which affects nearly 1% of total population worldwide. Epilepsy induced impairment of defensive responses is associated with high rates of premature mortality from external causes, but the underlying mechanisms is still unknown. We perform precisely timed and cell type-specific in vivo optogenetic methodologies in freely moving epileptic animals to clarify the neural circuit mechanisms for the influence of epilepsy on defensive behaviors and to identify the potential cell specific intervention targets for epilepsy-induced disorders. Technology tools, such as electrophysiological recording, optogenetics and trans-synaptic tracing technique, improve neural circuits research. We mainly focus on: designing and modifying novel optrode (electrode) array; dissecting defensive behavior related neural circuit and discriminating the circuit function in epileptic animal model.
