Xiaoke Chen

Kunming Institute of Zoology

Xiaoke Chen is an associate professor in Department of Biology at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2005, then moved to the U.S. for postdoc training at UC San Diego and Columbia University. Since 2012, his lab at Stanford University studies circuitry and molecular mechanisms underlying motivated behaviors and how maladaptive changes in these circuits lead to neuropsychiatric disorders, such as pain, addiction and depression. His lab revealed key roles of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) in tracking the dynamics of stimulus salience and gates learning (Zhu et al., 2018 Science). They also demonstrated unique roles of the PVT in controlling the formation and maintenance of opioid associated memories through its different downstream targets (Zhu et al., 2016 Nature; Piper et al., 2020 Neuron). These results has rejuvenated the study of the PVT and attracting many labs to explore specific role of the PVT in varies contexts.

Chaoran Ren

Jinan University

Chaoran Ren, PhD; Principal Investigator, Professor, GHM Institute of CNS Regeneration, Jinan University, Jinan University; Key Laboratory of CNS Regeneration (Ministry of Education); From 2007 to 2012, he received Ph. D. from Peking University. His research endeavors to elucidate the circuit mechanisms of the non-image-forming visual functions. In the past five years, he has made a series of research accomplishment. He found that the ventral part of the lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN/IGL) is a key brain structure to mediate the non-image-forming visual functions. Light information transmitted by the vLGN/IGL can regulate mood, memory and pain perception by controlling several downstream brain regions. These results improve our understanding of the structure and function of the non-image-forming visual system. He published a series of papers with corresponding author, including ones in high-profile journals such as Neuron (3), Nature Communications, Science Advances.
