Zuoxin Wang is affiliated with Florida State University in the United States and conducts research primarily in the fields of psychology and neuroscience. Their academic work spans a variety of subfields including social psychology, behavioral neuroscience, molecular biology, developmental neuroscience, and physiology.

Their research addresses key topics such as neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, stress responses and cortisol, gut microbiota and health, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, evolutionary psychology and human behavior, attachment and relationship dynamics, as well as circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Zuoxin Wang has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Yan Liu, Meghan Donovan, Yongliang Pan, Guoliang Li, and Zhibin Zhang. These collaborations reflect a consistent engagement with multiple aspects of behavioral and neurological sciences.

The scientist's recent papers cover a range of subjects within their focus areas, with notable examples including:

  • Social isolation alters behavior, the gut-immune-brain axis, and neurochemical circuits in male and female prairie voles (2020) published in Neurobiology of Stress
  • Role of Long Noncoding RNA Gas5 in Cocaine Action (2020) published in Biological Psychiatry
  • Hormonal Regulation of Mammalian Adult Neurogenesis: A Multifaceted Mechanism (2020) published in Biomolecules
  • Thermo-TRPs and gut microbiota are involved in thermogenesis and energy metabolism during low temperature exposure of obese mice (2020) published in Journal of Experimental Biology
  • Density-induced social stress alters oxytocin and vasopressin activities in the brain of a small rodent species (2020) published in Integrative Zoology

Zuoxin Wang has published multiple works in a variety of academic venues, including Neurobiology of Stress, Biological Psychiatry, Behavioural Brain Research, Neuroscience, and Biomolecules. These venues reflect the interdisciplinary nature of their research.

Their contributions to the scientific community have been recognized through prestigious awards such as being named a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2018 and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2011.
