DESCRIPTION:Hailan Hu\, Zhejiang University School of Medicine\, Hangzhou\
 , China\nEmotions and social interactions color our lives and shape our be
 haviors. Using animal models and engineered manipulations\, we aim to unde
 rstand how social and emotional behaviors are encoded in the brain\, focus
 ing on the neural circuits underlying dominance hierarchy and depression. 
 This lecture will highlight our recent discoveries on how downward social 
 mobility leads to depression\; how ketamine tames depression by blocking b
 urst firing in the brain’s anti-reward center\; and\, how glia-neuron in
 teraction plays a surprising role in this process. I will also present our
  recent work on the mechanism underlying the sustained antidepressant acti
 vity of ketamine and its brain region specificity. With these results\, we
  hope to illuminate on a more unified theory on ketamine’s mode of actio
 n and inspire new treatment strategies for depression.\n
