Yingxi Lin, PhD

Dr. Lin's work focuses on exploring cellular and molecular mechanisms by which experience is coupled to modifications of neural circuits that lead to long term behavioral changes, with ongoing projects in 4 areas: 1) Molecular & circuit mechanisms of learning  &  memory; 2) Neural circuit assembly and synapse development; 3) Molecular & circuit mechanisms of Neurological disorders; & 4) Neurogenetic tool development. Lin lab research carry out their studies using multi-disciplinary approaches,  i.e. molecular and cellular biology, mouse genetics, electrophysiology, imaging, chemogenetics, optogenetics and mouse behavior.
