Neuromodulatory properties of Mesencephalic locomotion region during decision-making in mice

At different internal state, animals adjust their walking speed and their behavior decisions accordingly. Mesencephalic locomotor region(MLR), a brain region which initiates and controls locomotion, also sends ascending projections to modulate brain state. My research aims to reveal the interaction between locomotion speed controlling neurons and neuromodulatory signals in MLR and explain its behavior role during perceptual decision-making. To investigate this, we developed a task that mice to perform perceptual decision-making on a head-fixed treadmill during an electrophysiological recording with a multi-channel recording of MLR.

Long-range horizontal connections are distinctive connectivity structure observed in V1 layer 2/3 in higher mammals. However, why visual cortex requires such connections, what is the functional role of them remains elusive. Here, we investigated visual functions of the structure by simulating model network.

Neural network dynamics underlying natural and machine intelligence

The biological brain solves many complex tasks in its environment. Artificial neural networks, inspired by the brain, have established themselves as powerful tools for solving nonlinear problems today. However, the principles underlying neural dynamics are not yet fully understood. Through a computational neuroscience approach, we aim to uncover the neural dynamics underlying biological intelligence. Simultaneously, we seek to achieve a breakthrough in engineering mechanical intelligence, drawing insights from natural intelligence.

Functional advantage of innate early visual circuitry

In mammalian brains, the function or structure of neural circuits shows experience-dependent plasticity, constantly adapting to dynamic environments. On the other hand, the early visual circuitry remains largely unchanged despite lifelong visual experiences. Yet, the specific functional advantage of the fixed early visual circuitry remains elusive. In the research, we investigated the functional benefit of the fixed early layer under dynamic environments utilizing a visual deep neural network (DNN) as a model for the human visual system.

Continual learning of humans and machine intelligence

Throughout life, humans encounter a vast array of sensory experiences. Some of these experiences become ingrained in our memory, playing a key role in how we interpret new stimuli, while others gradually fade away—a concept known as continual learning. My primary research interest lies in understanding the neural computations that underlie continual learning and leveraging these insights to construct AI systems capable of continual learning. In particular, I aim to address questions such as: How does the brain encode sensory stimuli as knowledge? How does it adaptively employ prior knowledge to interpret novel stimuli? And finally, how can we replicate these features in AI?
