1. Molecular and cellular Neuroscience, biochemistry, and mouse genetics;
2. Transcription regulation, transcriptome analysis, including single-cell RNA-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq;
3. Microscopy, including confocal and light-sheeting microscopy;
4. Slice electrophysiology, neural circuit mapping, fiber photometry, and in vivo Ca2+ imaging;
5. Mouse behavioral analyses and manipulations, including optogenetics and chemogenetics.
