From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minmin Luo is a Chinese neurobiologist. He currently serves as the Co-Director and Distinguished Investigator of Chinese Institute for Brain Research, Beijing, and also holds the position of Investigator at the New Cornerstone Science Laboratory.

Research Interests

[edit]

To elucidate how neural circuits processes reward and punishment signals. I focus on studying the functions and mechanisms of the brain 5-HT neurons in the dorsal raphe and the neural pathway from the medial habenula to the interpeduncular nucleus. The Luo laboratory uses integrative approaches including electrophysiology, optical imaging and optogenetics, molecular genetics, and behavioral assays, and aims to reveal the roles and mechanisms of the associated neural circuits at the molecular, cellular, physiological, and circuit levels.
