Shuai Zhang joined Li lab as a post-doc in 2024. He obtained his Ph.D from Harbin Medical University. He specializes in in-vivo two-photon imaging, electrophysiological recording, and optogenetics. His previous research was focused on the neuronal mechanism of memory and memory deficits. Now his study is focused on the regulation of sleep on learning and memory.
