The goal of my research is to identify the novel neural circuits, neurotransmitters and intra-neuronal signals that are critical for coordinated control of body weight, feeding behavior, and glucose balance.

The Yong Xu lab is interested in novel neural circuits, neurotransmitters and intra-neuronal signals that are critical for coordinated control of metabolism and behavior. We generate unique mouse models, using Cre-loxP/Flp-frt strategy, with genes of interest manipulated in specific populations of neurons at the time of choice.

Since 2012, Dr. Yang has been working in Dr. Yong Xu’s lab with a primary focus on the central nervous system regulation of appetite, metabolism and body weight. His research specifically focuses on the neurons and neural circuits, especially the central melanocortin system, and the key intracellular molecules that regulate the energy ...
