Most protocols for generating high-titer lentivirus require ultracentrifugation, which can be an instrumental barrier for routine operations in a laboratory. In this study, Chen Zhang’s group describe...
Chen Zhang’s team summarized some of the high-confidence genetic changes in ASD and their possible roles in their pathogenesis.
Chen Zhang’s lab designed an experimental apparatus of a light/dark box with a voltage foot shock. The results of study described that it is an efficient method of monitoring fear memory formation and...
Lin Lu’s group defined the role of AMPK in fear memory formation. The results of this study indicate that AMPK is a key negative regulator of plasticity and fear memory formation.
Cong Yu’s lab tested whether TPE training protocols could even make learning transfer across different tasks involving discrimination of basic visual features. The results do not support a hypothetica...
The study of Dai Zhang’s group suggests an association between schizophrenia and the impairment of posttranscriptional regulation of brain development through microRNA systems.
The finding of Dai Zhang’s group suggest a vital role of P-Rex1 signaling in CA1 LTD that is critical for social behavior and cognitive function and offer new insight into the etiology of ASDs.
A new study of Lin Lu’s group indicated that persistent neurobiological changes that occur after 8 weeks of clozapine treatment may contribute to the vulnerability to recurrence and efficacy of long-t...
Cong Yu’s group used staircase methods that varied the direction difference trial by trial in motion direction learning study. They suspect that multiple sessions of practice with a single direction d...
The new research findings of Liang Li’s group support the hypothesis that the need to engage attentional mechanisms in aid of scene analysis increases as the similarity (both acoustic and informationa...
