研究興趣
獎賞與懲罰驅使動物接近或逃避、產生快樂與痛苦、并指導學習與記憶形成。獎賞與懲罰關乎動物的生死與種系繁衍、并在人類的日常生活中影響情緒與情感。小鼠與人有類似的神經環路,并對獎賞與懲罰有相似的行為反應。我們實驗室以轉基因小鼠為模型,研究哺乳動物處理獎賞與懲罰的神經環路機制,特別是中縫背核及內側韁核兩個腦區及相連的神經環路的作用。我們運用電生理和光學成像,從清醒小鼠中記錄特定類型神經元的在獎賞與懲罰相關行為中的反應特點。繼而運用光遺傳學及化學遺傳學手段,檢測激活、抑制、損毀相關神經元對于行為的影響。我們也利用全細胞膜片鉗和光學成像等手段,探索不同藥物及細胞信號轉導途徑在獎賞與懲罰行為中的作用及分子細胞機制。腦內處理獎賞與懲罰的神經環路異常導致多種人類精神疾病,包括抑郁、精神分裂、藥物成癮等。因此,我們的工作不僅有助于理解與獎賞與懲罰相關行為的神經生物學基礎,亦可具有臨床意義。
Reward and punishment motivate animal behaviors, produce the feelings of pleasure and disappointment, and guide learning and memory formation. They are a matter of life and death for an individual as well as the species, and affect mood and emotion in our daily life. Mice share with humanskey features of reward- and punishment-related behaviors and theunderlying neural pathways. Using genetically modified mice as the model system, my laboratory studies how neural circuits organize behavioral responses to reward and punishment. At present we focus on the dorsal raphe nucleus and the medial habenula, as well as their interconnected brain areas. Using electrophysiological and optical approaches, we record the activity patterns of genetically identified neuron types from behaving mice. We also combine optogenetics and chemogenetics to examine how stimulation, inhibition, or lesion of specific neurons affects animal behaviors. Finally, we carry out whole-cell patch recordings from brain slices to study the effects of drugs and cellular signal transduction pathways. The dysfunctions of reward and punishment processing are associated with several devastating psychiatric disorders, such as depression, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. Thus, our study not only help understand the neurobiological basis of some fundamental animal behaviors but also may facilitate clinical efforts toward the cure of mental diseases.
