Dongyang Li's research investigates how brain cells called astrocytes and hormone-producing neurons (especially those making oxytocin and vasopressin) regulate maternal behavior, stress responses, and recovery from brain injuries like stroke. The work combines neuroendocrinology (study of hormones and the nervous system) with neuroscience techniques to understand brain edema (swelling), cerebral artery occlusion (a stroke model), and related protective mechanisms. This research could interest students curious about how the brain controls hormone release and how these processes relate to maternal care, stress, and stroke recovery.
