Xuemei Song

Dr. Song ’s Lab was built in September of 2015. Dr. Song obtained Ph.D. in Shanghai Institute of Biological Science, Chinese Academy of Science in 2007. She was a Research Assistant from 2007 to 2010, and Associate Investigator from 2010 to 2015 in Shanghai Institute of Biological Science. Using the in vivo single-unit recording and juxta-cellular labeling, I found that all labeled contrast-dependent (CD) cells were pyramidal cells, whereas all labeled contrast-independent (CID) cells were non-pyramidal cells, CIDf cells were spiny satellates and CIDs cells, smooth interneurons. I demonstrated the global distinction between summation properties of pyramidal and nonpyramidal cells and between the smooth and spiny nonpyramidal cells as well. I joined Interdisciplinary Institute of Neuroscience and Technology at Zhejiang University (ZIINT) in September 2015.
