Postdoctoral Fellow
Yihan Wang
Yihan acquired his PhD degree of neuroscience at University of Wyoming, where he was trained with ChR2 assisted circuit mapping (CRACM) and single units recording to investigate neural circuits.
He joined the Halassa lab as postdoc in 2024, where he primarily studies value computation and inference. Combining single units recording and optogenetics tools in Tupaia (tree shrews), he investigates the role of thalamo-cortical interactions and their hierarchical status while tree shrews perform an evaluation and inference task.
