ABOUT US

       藥物治療在改善動物的憂鬱和焦慮行為方面具有潛力，但不當的藥物濫用也可能導致異常的認知和成癮行為。透過電生理技術，我們可以精確地瞭解單一神經細胞的功能，或者特定腦區之間的迴路可塑性。結合光遺傳學和化學遺傳學技術，我們能夠調節動物的行為表現，進一步深入研究神經心理相關的分子機制和細胞內訊息傳遞途徑。

       我們的目標是通過瞭解這些相關機制，為未來的臨床治療方法的開發提供更多資訊，以應對與動物神經心理相關的疾病。這將有助於我們更有效地處理憂鬱和焦慮等心理健康問題，同時也有助於防止藥物濫用所帶來的不良後果。

Drug therapy can be used to improve depressive and anxious behaviors in animals; however, improper drug abuse can also lead to abnormal cognition and addictive behaviors. Through electrophysiological techniques, we can gain a precise understanding of the functionality of individual neurons or the plasticity of specific circuits within the brain. By combining optogenetics and chemogenetics, we can manipulate animal behavior, enabling us to delve deeper into the molecular mechanisms and intracellular signaling pathways associated with neurobehavioral phenomena in animals.

Our goal is to leverage this knowledge to inform the development of future clinical treatment approaches for disorders related to animal neurobehavior. This research may facilitate more effective management of psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety, while also contributing to the prevention of adverse consequences stemming from drug misuse.
