Ting Feng

Ting Feng is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, specializing in neuroscience and molecular biology with a focus on neural circuits underlying visual-guided behavior and inhibitory neuron plasticity. Her work spans from molecular investigations of neuropeptides like cholecystokinin (CCK) in stress-induced fear memory to studying Parkinson's Disease mechanisms and hippocampal development.

• Ph.D. in Pathology and Pathophysiology, Hebei Medical University, China (2014)
• M.S. in Forensic Medicine, Hebei Medical University, China (2010)

Dr. Feng's research integrates molecular biology, electrophysiology, and imaging to explore topics such as:

• Developmental inhibitory circuits in the hippocampus
• CCK's role in PTSD and addiction
• Visual-guided prey-capture behavior neural mechanisms

Her recent publications highlight studies on dentate gyrus function, binocular perception deficits, and CCK+ basket cell-mediated plasticity during development.
