Dr. Yu-Chao Liu (劉于超 博士)

Yu-Chao Liu received his bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences from NCHU in 2009, and earned his PhD in 2014 at NYMU with Cheng-Chang Lien. He will start his postdoctoral training with Stefan Remy at DZNE (Bonn, Germany) in April of 2016, with support from a postdoctoral research abroad program from MOST. His vision is to bridge the gaps between cellular/circuits-based neuro-mechanisms and cognitive animal behaviors. Combined of behavioral test and in vivo recording techniques, he proposes to find out the origin of single-place-preference of hippocampal neurons.
