We explore neural circuits regulating memory and metabolism, integrating neuroscience and endocrinology to tackle cognitive decline and metabolic disorders

Dynamics of Cellular Interaction

Cells, much like individuals, thrive on continuous communication—transmitting mechanical forces, electrical impulses, and chemical messengers.

Through synapses and other junctions, distinct cell types assemble into precisely organized networks that enable us to think, remember, and keep metabolic balance.

How are synaptic circuits specified—and later rebuilt—to encode information?

How is energy metabolism regulated through nerve system in the central and the peripheral?
