معرفی
Weikang Shi is a Wu Tsai Postdoctoral Appointee at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making, particularly the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in economic choices and cooperative behaviors in primates. Shi employs innovative experimental designs, such as automated behavioral testing with marmosets, to study social and non-social cognitive processes.
His work bridges neuroscience, economics, and comparative psychology, exploring how the brain encodes value comparisons during decision-making and how cooperative strategies emerge in primate social dynamics. Shi’s research also extends to mitochondrial biology, investigating protein interactions affecting calcium regulation in cellular processes.
While no formal advisees or awards are listed, his contributions to neuroeconomics and behavioral neuroscience demonstrate interdisciplinary engagement. His affiliation with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute likely supports collaborative projects at the intersection of neuroscience and technology.
