Lab Leader: Ju Huang
Lab Name: Laboratory of Neuroscience in Behavior and Emotion
Lab Info：Our lab has long been committed to the research of neural-circuit and molecular-level mechanisms of innate behavior and emotion regulation, with a series of research achievements in the functional roles of disease-related proteins, epigenetic regulation, as well as the neural circuits mediating the interaction between different innate behaviors. Our studies have identified the novel mechanisms for: feeding and appetite regulation; epigenetic regulation of feeding behavior; interaction between feeding and thermoregulation; synaptic plasticity by protein degradation. Our current research has been working on the unsolved scientific questions in the field of "innate behavior and emotion regulation", focusing on the mechanisms mediating the impact of repetitive behavior on emotional regulation, the role of disease-related proteins, and the intervention and treatment of stereotyped repetitive behavior. Thus, it would provide a new perspective for our understanding in the neurobiological mechanisms in emotional regulation through behavior.
