Genes, Circuits & Behavior
We
are using molecular imaging techniques in Drosophila aiming to understand the genetic and neural basis of brain functions. Two main approaches are taken: (i) to construct a wiring diagram of the entire brain; and (ii) to understand computation in specific circuits for innate as well as learned behaviors. More

Competition among neuroscientists has become fierce with the rising public profile of the discipline. As more and more government and private sectors commit to enhancing brain research, researchers are working feverishly to map gene networks and discover the functions of specific genes.
Among the weightiest talents in the field is Chiang Ann-shyn, the director of the Brain Research Center (BRC) at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), who has recently made a major breakthrough.More
