Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I am interested in the brain basis of learning and memory, and interaction with stress and emotion. Using a multi-disciplinary approach (integrating cognitive neuroimaging, psychophysiology, and genetics), I mainly investigate into the following questions. How does the brain, particularly the medial temporal and prefrontal networks, support learning and memory? How are these memory-related systems modulated by emotion and stress? How do these systems mature over development?
