Hey! My name is Shuzhen Zuo, I am a PhD candidate in Dr. Thomas McHugh's Lab at the University of Tokyo (Lab based on RIKEN Center for Brain Science).

I am very much interested in cognitive neuroscience and particularly in the storage and retrieval of memories. Previously, I was investigating the role of neurons in the precuneus region of the parietal cortex in episodic memory retrieval under the supervision of Dr. Sze Chai Kwok. During my PhD period, I will continualy study the neuronal mechanism of memory retrieval especially memory replay. Throughout my studies, I have been investigating these topics using behavioral and electrophysiological techniques.
