    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Wu’s research focuses on unraveling the neural mechanisms that enable animals to perceive and share others’ emotional states (empathy) and respond with actions that improve others’ well-being (prosocial behavior). Her lab aims to (1) investigate the neural computations underlying prosocial interactions, (2) dissect the neural circuitry that functionally controls prosocial behavior, and (3) understand how prosocial processes may be perturbed in mouse models of psychiatric conditions. To achieve these goals, Dr. Wu’s research integrates a variety of approaches, including single-cell transcriptomics, in vivo calcium imaging, functional manipulation, and machine learning.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
