Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Chang-qi Li"
Chang-Qi Li's recent research investigates the neurobiological mechanisms underlying addiction and anxiety disorders, with a focus on synaptic plasticity and the roles of specific proteins such as LASP1 and BDNF in conditions like methamphetamine addiction and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Findings indicate that LASP1 modulates behaviors related to methamphetamine addiction and that oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in ASD pathology, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.
Additionally, Li's work extends to understanding the impact of neuroinflammation and microglial activity on cognitive deficits associated with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and PTSD, stressing the significance of the brain's extracellular matrix in behavioral extinction processes.
