        The major research interest has been focused on the neurobilogy, especially the neural control of breathing and the respiration-related activities. The main works already done include the effects and mechanism of stimulation of Renzhong on respiration and blood pressure, the electrophysiological and morphological properties of the respiratory neurons in the medulla oblongata of rat, the roles of the medullary respiratory neurons in the regulation of respiration and respiration-related activities, the relation of the nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis with the control of respiratory rhythm, the roles of the neurons of pre-Botzinger complex in the control of respiration and their neurochemical properties, and the establishment of a simple and effective technique of decerebrating rat. The works currently in carrying out are the respiratory effect of ischemia of brainstem and its mechanism and the gene cloning and expression and functional identification of neurotrophin 6. More than 40 articles were published.
