Biography
Our research goal is to understand the synaptic mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of chronic pain and psychiatric disorders. We try to understand how brain circuit modulates neuronal transmission in midbrain periaqueductal gray, which is an critical region of midbrain for controlling of pain and emotion. We also try to understand how the analgesic compounds and antidepressants regulate pain and depression leads to therapeutic efficacy in the brain, especially in the periaqueductal gray.
