Our lab aims to understand the neural basis underlying cognitive functions by assessing neuronal activity at different spatio-temporal scales using multimodal approach.

We are interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the plasticity of synapses and neural circuits, and the role of neuroplasticity in brain functions and brain disorders.

We have trained rhesus monkeys to perform demanding discrimination tasks, in which animals integrate visual and vestibular cues in a statistically optimal way to improve heading judgments.

We utilize molecular fMRI with the aid of bioresponsive MRI probes, a methodology that combines molecular imaging and functional MRI. Molecular fMRI enables the direct monitoring of neuronal signaling processes with exceptional spatiotemporal resolution.

The DEB Lab examines the functional and comparative neuroanatomy of neural pathways interfacing bodily and brain states, to unravel how interoception and autonomic control shape brain functions supporting awareness of feelings.

One of the most enigmatic and arguably the hardest problems in neuroscience is to understand the biological basis of consciousness. With that as an aim, research in the lab focuses on the microcircuits and the neural mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception and cognition.

The C³ laboratory investigates the neural mechanisms and biomarkers of cognitive control and adaptive behavior. Our research bridges humans and non-human primates to uncover how the brain monitors performance, infers causes of outcomes, and adapts across timescales in dynamic environments.

We utilize molecular fMRI with the aid of bioresponsive MRI probes, a methodology that combines molecular imaging and functional MRI. Molecular fMRI enables the direct monitoring of neuronal signaling processes with exceptional spatiotemporal resolution.

We aim to understand how our brain visually categorizes natural objects such as faces and makes decisions about how to interact with these objects in the external world.

Zhen Liu lab focus on gene-modification method development in primate and genetic tools development used for primate brain connectome, cognition, disease study.

We are trying to combine knowledge from diverse fields and put together a framework that not only illustrates how neural networks in the brain carry out decision making, but also provide insights back to other fields.

Our lab focuses on multi-modal brain mapping of the common marmoset to study large-scale brain network development and dynamics underlying social behavior and brain disorders.

By taking advantages of nanotechnology, we aim to develop innovative techniques for monitoring neural activities, modulating neural activities, and precise diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases, respectively. Deep collaborations between material scientists and neuroscientists are anticipated to make significant breakthroughs in NanoNeuro.

Our primary goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying memory-influenced behaviors, including spatial navigation, deliberation, and decision.

Our research integrates functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), scalp electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), intracranial EEG (iEEG), with psychophysics and computational modeling, to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying visual and high-level cognition.

Our group is focusing on the development of neural interfaces in both central and peripheral nervous systems.
