Fuwen Zhou

Fuwen Zhou, Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, focuses on Neurobiology research. His work investigates neural function and behavior in brain regions like the olfactory bulb, cortex, and basal ganglia, using techniques such as patch clamp electrophysiology, optogenetics, and chemogenetics in healthy and disease models (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy).

• Education:
  • Bachelor of Medicine (Dental Medicine), Central South University Xiang-Ya School of Medicine, China
  • Master of Medicine (Pharmacology), Central South University Xiang-Ya School of Medicine, China
  • Dr. rer. nat. (Cell Biology), University of Rostock, Germany

His research spans synaptic plasticity, neural circuits, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, as evidenced by publications on HCN and TRP channels, excitation-inhibition balance, and animal models. Recent studies highlight olfactory bulb dynamics, cortical circuit dysfunction, and neurotransmitter modulation in disease contexts. Articles from 2024-2009 reflect consistent contributions to neurophysiology, synaptic plasticity, and neural network analysis.
