我們實驗室致力於探討學習、記憶與神經發育障礙 (Neurodevelopmental disorders) 的分子與細胞機制。運用多元且互補的研究技術,包括細胞生物學、生物化學、電生理學、活體影像以及動物行為分析,並結合原代神經細胞、基因改造小鼠(genetically modified mouse lines)與各類遺傳工具鼠(genetic tool mice),從分子、突觸、細胞、神經迴路到行為等進行不同層次的研究。
我們希望深入了解神經細胞如何在發育過程中建立適當的突觸連結並整合至功能性神經迴路,這些神經迴路如何因經驗而產生可塑性變化,以及這些動態調控如何進一步支持學習、記憶與其他大腦認知功能。
我們特別關注以下研究問題:
- 神經細胞如何在發育過程中建立正確的突觸連結與神經迴路?
- 神經突觸可塑性(synaptic plasticity)如何調控學習與記憶?
- 神經突觸功能異常(synaptic dysfunction)如何造成神經迴路失調,並進一步導致智能障礙(intellectual disability, ID)、自閉症類群障礙(autism spectrum disorder, ASD)等人類神經發育障礙?
除了釐清神經發育障礙背後的分子、細胞、突觸與神經迴路機制之外,我們也重視研究成果的轉譯潛力。我們希望進一步辨識與疾病相關的關鍵分子與細胞標的,並利用細胞與動物疾病模型評估可能的治療策略,將基礎研究發現延伸至治療開發與驗證,為人類神經發育障礙提供新的治療方向。
