Chengrui Lei is a Research Assistant with a strong interest in neuroscience, learning and memory, and the neural mechanisms underlying brain function. She received her Bachelor of Agriculture degree in Veterinary Medicine from Liaocheng University, and later obtained her Master of Veterinary Medicine degree from China Agricultural University, where she received training related to biomedical research.

During her master’s study and subsequent research work, she gradually shifted her research interest toward neuroscience, with a focus on neural circuits, animal behavior, and in vivo electrophysiological recording. Currently, Chengrui Lei is mainly involved in neuroscience-related experiments, including animal behavioral testing, in vivo electrophysiological recording, data organization, and data analysis. She hopes to further explore how the brain regulates perception, learning, memory, and related behaviors.

Chengrui Lei’s research interests mainly focus on the relationship between neural circuits and behavior, particularly the neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory, cognitive function, and activity in related brain regions. She aims to combine animal behavioral experiments, in vivo electrophysiological recording, optogenetic manipulation, and data analysis methods to investigate how neuronal activity contributes to complex behavior and cognitive processes.
