Our research focuses on investigating how autophagy and extracellular vesicles regulate brain synaptic transmission and neural circuits controlling sensory, cognition, and behaviors. Findings from our research are expected to develop novel therapeutic strategies for cognitive and social deficits associated with autism, stroke and other neurological diseases.
