个人简介
Dr. Ning Cheng is an Associate Investigator at the Institute of Brain Cognition and Brain Diseases (BCBDI), Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Nankai University in 2012, and his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics (specializing in Computational Neuroscience) from Nankai University in 2017. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms of spatial reference frame transformation in episodic memory and the coding principles of spatial and temporal information. He integrates in vivo calcium imaging with computational approaches to investigate neural coding principles and circuit mechanisms in key brain regions involved in spatial cognition, such as the retrosplenial cortex, hippocampus, and posterior parietal cortex.
