BMI Seminar // Sung Han: Revealing the role of neuropeptides in neural circuit function and behavior
Neuropeptides play a critical role in modulating neural circuits and influencing behavior, yet their precise mechanisms of action remain largely unexplored. In this talk, I will present our latest findings on the role of neuropeptides in neural circuit function, uncovered through the use of novel genetically encoded sensors and silencers designed specifically for peptidergic transmission. By applying these innovative tools, we have identified key pathways and mechanisms by which neuropeptides regulate neuronal activity and orchestrate complex behavioral responses. This presentation will highlight the biological insights gained from these studies, offering a deeper understanding of how neuropeptide signaling shapes brain function and behavior.
