On September 2nd 2020, Professor Shen Wei from SLST with his collaborators published a research paper entitled “Parabrachial neuron types categorically encode thermoregulation variables during heat defense”, in the international academic journal Science Advances. This paper defined two key elements of the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPB)-hypothalamic preoptic area (POA) circuitry during heat defense and demonstrated how the LPB neurons were encoding two different heat defense variables, which are also required for https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabb9414
Professor Shen Wei has long been engaged in researching the mechanism of energy homeostasis by the central nervous system. As a correspondending author, he has clarified the mechanisms of body temperature regulation and feeding regulation in journals such as PNAS (2017), Cell Research (2018), and Nature Neuroscience (2019).
