研究领域

Dr. Liu’s research goal is to address one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience: how does the brain work for hedonic feeding. Using a combination of in vitro/ in vivo electrophysiology, fiber photometry, optogenetics, pharmacological manipulation and behavioral tests, the research is conducted in the following three directions:
1. Feeding peptide effects on neuroplasticity in the reward system and hedonic feeding
2. Dissection of neural circuits for motivation and decision-making in hedonic feeding
3. Neural mechanisms underlying metabolic syndrome induced reward circuitry dysfunction""
