Bio:

Yijun Cui received her doctoral degree from UCLA from the Department of Neurobiology. During her graduate work in the lab of Alcino Silva, she studied the mechanism of the learning deficits in a mice model of NF1.
In the Yang lab, she is now studying basal ganglia circuits underlying normal behavior, drug addiction, and Huntington disease by combining genetic, molecular, pharmacological, and behavioral studies.
