Research Interest
Using two-photon laser imaging, endogenous signal optical imaging, electrophysiology and other neurobiological methods to achieve real-time whole living animal brain, from the functional column to synapse, function and morphology visualization, visual pathway to study the information processing Function mechanism and its morphological basis, and to study the new function of glial cells that have been neglected in the cerebral cortex for a long time and to explore the relationship between glial cell network and neuronal network in brain information processing.
