今天元旦，新的一年。
2009这一年，发表了3篇论文。按几个著名科学家的标准，算是达标。
吴瑞认为，在过去10年，发表8篇论文，其中，1篇代表性论文。
另一个著名科学家认为，1年，发表1篇论文。
今年申请到1个项目。经费够用。
今年，还取得一大进展。
这样，做科学研究，一年“三大进展”， 自我评价---达标！
不是没有遗憾。
在2010年，集中一点，突破一点。
从师学艺，还没有达到博士导师的水平和境界，继续学习。
11年做Science，悟出几点：
1.坚持数年，必有成果。
最典型的是“863”专家，现在基本都有成果了。
2.师从“大师”

科研领域描述
本实验室主要兴趣在于：
- 神经发育的分子机理。
- 社会行为的分子生物学。
极性是细胞的一个 基本性质。神经细胞有轴突和树突，它们起不同的作用，树突一般接受信号，而轴突通常发送信号。如果没有神经细胞的极性，神经系统的信息传递就会紊乱。实验 室在分子和亚细胞水平研究神经细胞极性发生的机理，除了可以帮助基础理解以外，如果能知道怎样形成轴突，也许可以提示如何在损伤后帮助促进神经纤维再生。 目前实验室主要研究调节神经细胞极性的信号转导通路。
我们通过遗传学途 径研究社会行为的分子机理。主要用果蝇和鼠研究同性间争斗、异性间求偶、和亲子间抚育等行为。用可以定量的实验模型，观察行为的模式和变化。用遗传学方 法，控制特定脑区神经活动，以确立脑中参与特定行为的区域。通过分析基因突变后的行为表型，找到调控行为的分子。希望理解一个行为执行需要的分子和神经通 路，了解行为如何发育，行为发育的分子和细胞机理。

Research Description:
We have two major lines of research: molecular studies of neuronal polarity and genetic analysis of social behavior.
Polarity is a basic cellular feature. Each neuron usually has an axon and multiple dendrites, with dendrites receiving signals from other cells and axons sending signals to other cells. Abnormalities in neuronal polarity disrupt informational flow in the nervous system. Our lab currently focuses on signal transduction pathways involved in establishing and maintaining neuronal polarity. Molecular and subcellular studies of neuronal polarity will contribute to our understanding of the basic mechanisms and may also suggest new approaches to facilitate recovery after neural injuries.
We take genetic approaches to study social behaviors in Drosophila and mice. We focus on three basic social interactions: aggression among members of the same sex, courtship between members of the opposite sex (usually) and parental behavior between members of different generations. We use quantifiable behavioral paradigms to observe behaviors and characterize behavioral changes caused by natural and artificial stimuli. Genetic manipulations allow us to control neuronal activities in defined regions, which make it possible to determine brain regions involved in a specific behavior. Analysis of behavioral phenotype of genetic mutations allows us to discover molecules underlying behaviors. We hope to understand the molecules and neural pathways involved in behavior and the molecular and cellular mechanisms required for the development of behaviors.
