Research

To investigate the neural circuit basis of the interaction between the olfactory system and neurological and psychiatric diseases, multidisciplinary approaches, including neurotropic virus tracing, electrophysiology, fiber photometry, and behavioral assessment, combined with optogenetic and chemogenetic techniques, will be used to dissect the spatial and temporal patterns of the olfactory circuit changes, to reveal the influence of specific olfactory circuits on the onset and progression of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
