   Research Interests：

Synapses are the primary functional units for neuronal communication in the brain and many neurodegeneration and neurological diseases are ultimately attributed to their malfunction or pathology. The long-term goal of my lab is to study the physiological and pathological roles and mechanisms of synapse for our brain functions, combing the electrophysiological method with novel molecular and genetic tools and biochemical, molecular, developmental biological approaches. The current research directions are as following:

(1) The molecular mechanisms of synaptic organization, synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity;

(2) The molecular bases for synaptic malfunction underlying neurological diseases;

(3) The unique synaptic properties of human and primate central nervous system during development and neural transmission.
