Dong Wang, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy at 91制片厂.

Research Interests

Neural ensemble dynamics underlying learning and memory consolidation; emotion; learning and memory; neurobiology; prefrontal neuronal circuitry; sleep neurobiology; systems neurobiology

Research

Dr. Wang's lab employs a multi-disciplinary approach including optogenetics, in vivo electrophysiology and in vivo calcium imaging techniques to investigate the neural ensemble dynamics underlying learning and memory consolidation. In particular, the lab focuses on the circuitry of the hippocampus and anatomically connected regions in learning and memory processes, and how alterations in these connections affect behavior. They also aim to discover ways by which learning and memory can be enhanced or weakened, and to develop innovative therapies for treatment of memory disorders such as amnesia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
