Dr. Ji uses electrophysiological single-cell recordings in different brain areas and various behavioral assays to correlate neuronal activity with behavior. For example, computerized vocalization analysis allows the study of nocifensive and affective components of pain. The elevated plus-maze test allows the analysis of anxiety-like behavior. Conditioned place-preference assay measures higher-integrated learning and extinction behavior. A reward-based decision-making task measures cognitive functions. Dr. Ji's previous work involved the analysis of peripheral neuroplasticity in chronic pain. Electrophysiological single fiber recordings in an in vitro skin-nerve preparation and behavioral assays were used to study pharmacological receptors on peripheral nociceptors and pain behaviors.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia Gulf Coast Cluster for Translational Pain Research  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Confocal Facility Manager Pharmacology and Neuroscience Texas Tech University
