Postdoc from the Catherine Dulac lab，interested in how the brain reconstructs and interprets the world, and how gene carriers like humans are trapped by or possibly escape our evolutionary fate.
- My Own Lab at Westlake University is OPEN! We are recruiting cool people at all levels NOW! By tinkering behaviors and neural circuits in distinct animal species (mouse, sugar glider, etc), we are exploring new ways of doing social neuroscience in vivo, in silico and at home!

- In our new paper @dulaclab.bsky.social, we investigated a fundamental question in social neuroscience: the origin of "sociality" (the need of being together) at the levels of behavior, neuron type, neural circuit and sensory modulation. (Detailed digest below) (1/7) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- First, we characterized a "social rebound" behavior triggered by social isolation, which suggests a homeostatic regulation of social need. Intriguingly, different mouse strains showed distinct social rebound intensity after isolation, indicating a genetic basis for social need. (2/7)

- Our paper @dulaclab.bsky.social on social homeostasis is online today! We characterized “social rebound” behavior after social isolation in multiple mouse strains and revealed its neural basis. Intriguingly, soft touch plays a key role in satisfying social need! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
