Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zili Luo"
- Zili Luo's recent research primarily focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying addictive behaviors associated with alcohol (EtOH), particularly the role of Regulator of G Protein Signaling 6 (RGS6) in dopamine neurons and its impact on alcohol-seeking behavior, reward, and relapse susceptibility.
- Luo also explores the cognitive processes involved in language acquisition, specifically investigating how tonal information is integrated during word learning in speakers of Cantonese compared to French.
- Additionally, Luo's work includes significant contributions to the understanding of neuroimmune responses following traumatic brain injury (TBI), revealing how type I interferon signaling affects neuropathology and the functioning of microglia and astrocytes in the aftermath of TBI.
