Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xi-Xi Yang"
- Xi-Xi Yang's research primarily focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms of drug addiction, particularly the role of the ventrolateral orbital cortex (VLO) in morphine-induced behavioral sensitization in rats, as evidenced by studies detailing the involvement of serotonin receptors and neurofilament light chains.
- Recent findings highlight that the 5-HT receptors in the VLO significantly contribute to the development of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization, indicating a complex interplay of neural pathways in drug reinforcement.
- In addition to research on drug addiction, Yang has explored environmental science topics, including soil respiration rates in fragmented forests, revealing critical insights into terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycling within artificial land-bridge island systems.
