Overview

Chiang-shan R. Li is affiliated with Yale University in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience, medicine, and psychology. Their research primarily focuses on cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, and neurology.

The core topics addressed in their work include functional brain connectivity studies, neural and behavioral psychology studies, neurotransmitter receptor influence on behavior, mental health research topics, tryptophan and brain disorders, stress responses and cortisol, as well as substance abuse treatment and outcomes.

Chiang-shan R. Li has published numerous scientific papers across several venues, with frequent publications appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Psychiatric Research, Translational Psychiatry, Addiction Biology, and NeuroImage. Notable recent papers include:

  • Sex differences in the neuroanatomy of alcohol dependence: hippocampus and amygdala subregions in a sample of 966 people from the ENIGMA Addiction Working Group, 2021, Translational Psychiatry
  • Gray matter volumetric correlates of behavioral activation and inhibition system traits in children: An exploratory voxel-based morphometry study of the ABCD project data, 2020, NeuroImage
  • A sensorimotor control framework for understanding emotional communication and regulation, 2020, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Sex differences in neural responses to reward and the influences of individual reward and punishment sensitivity, 2021, BMC Neuroscience
  • The thalamus and its subnuclei-a gateway to obsessive-compulsive disorder, 2022, Translational Psychiatry

The scientist frequently collaborates with colleagues such as Yunlong Tan, Zhiren Wang, Xingguang Luο, Thang M. Le, and Baopeng Tian, each contributing to multiple joint publications.
