孙宗鹏，副研究员。2008年哈尔滨工业大学本科毕业，2011年获欧盟居里夫人奖学金于University of Tuebingen攻读神经科学博士。主要采用光遗传，在体神经电生理记录和神经活动成像技术，结合计算机模型和动作追踪技术揭示感知、运动以及大脑利用奖励信号（奖励预测误差）驱动学习行为的神经机制。研究方向：（1）生命体一直跟周围世界进行交流与相互作用，为此大脑需要将外界信息内化并转换成运动信号。利用动物模型、神经活动记录，结合神经通路特异性标记探讨不同脑区及神经环路在感觉编码、运动控制以及“感觉运动转换”中的作用。（2）奖励系统是人类最原始的动力系统。大脑的奖励通路不仅保障物种的生存，例如觅食行为和性行为；而且也可以促进学习和改变动物的行为。我们的研究兴趣是了解奖励的神经编码原则以及奖励调控动物行为的神经机制。
