Including:
(1) Observation of learning and memory behavior in mice or rats
(2) Aging and the deficits of learning and memory

Academic Distinction
In 1994, as a young teacher, I was awarded the Yingsong prize of Nanjing University
with honors. In July 1993, I was awarded the third prize of the Zhang Xijun
Foundation of the Chinese Physiological Society for a series of papers on
"Investigation into the relation between the central mechanism of
facilitation of neuropeptides on memory and the level of calcium ions." Later
I was given the Science and Technology Progress Award issued by the Science
Commission of Jiangsu province for my contributions to the project entitled
"The Cerebral Mechanism Relating to Effects of Some Peptides on Memory". As a
graduate student, I was awarded the first prize twice (1992, 1991) and the
third prize (1990) of Nanjing University.
In the last a few years, I have written 23 papers (16 were published, 6
accepted and 1 submitted) for the national/international journals and
conference proceedings.
Teaching and Research Experience
Fab.1987--Jan.1988: Project on the subcellular distribution of calcium ions
in the discrete brain regions of mice during electro-
acupuncture and drugs induced analgesia. The methods
include the use of the transmission electron microscopy
and electron probe x-ray microanalysis.
Mar.1988--Jul.1990: Worked as a teaching assistant to my academic director
in the courses of "Physiology" and "Experiment of Physi-
ology" for undergraduate students in Nanjing University
meanwhile, did research work as an assistant on the
project "The Synaptic Mechanism of the Facilitative
Effects of Some Neuropeptides on Memory" sponsored by
the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province,China
We employed methods of observation of learning and
memory behavior in mice or rats,isotope labell, prepara-
tion and identification of synaptosomes, and analysis of
synaptosomal protein synthesis.
Sept.1990-Jul.1993: worked as a major researcher on the project "The
Cerebral Mechanism Relating to Effects of Some Peptides
on Memory" which was sponsored by the National Science
Foundation of China. The techniques used included HPLC,
cell culture, autoradiography,immunohistochemistry, PCR,
in situ hybridization, radioligand binding assay, and
the measurement of intracellular or intrasynaptosomal
free ca2+ concentration.
Sept.1993--present: gave courses of "General Biology," "Progress in
Physiology," "English Used in Physiology" for under
graduate students and worked as a major researcher in
the following projects in Nanjing University:
1. "The Search for the Mechanisms of Memory Disorders
in Aging Animals: Changes of Ca2+ Level and Synaptic
Curvature in Brain" which was sponsored by the National
Science Foundation of China.
2. "The Relationship Between Learning and Memory
Deficits in Aging Animals and the Changes of Ca2+ Level
in Brain" which was sponsored by the Natural Science
Foundation of Jiangsu Province, China.
