My PhD study mainly focuses on noise-induced hearing loss using mice. "How does it induce neural plasticity in the hippocampus and the auditory cortex to affect emotion (anxiety) and cognition (phantom sound perception)?" I used electrophysiological recordings (ECoG, extracellular field/whole-cell recording in vitro) and behavior tests to investigate the question with the guidance of Dr. Sungchil Yang from City Univerisity of Hong Kong.
