Research Background and Directions
He has long been engaged in the study of the relationship between neural cell injury (degeneration) and traumatic Stress in forensic neuropathology, as well as the diagnostic significance of forensic serum biochemical indicators in sudden death. Currently, his research focuses on the effects of traumatic Stress on the functional changes of central nervous cells and the secretion of neurotransmitters in cerebrospinal fluid, as well as the evaluation of the degree of dopamine nervous system damage in various causes of death.
