We conduct various neuroscientific and experimental psychological studies, aiming to understand the neural mechanisms of memory, spatial cognition, emotion, and social recognition.

Research themes

Navigation (spatial cognition)

Episodic memory

Empathy (social behavior)

Neural mechanism of learning

Interaction between vision and touch (haptics)

Emotion

Research methods

Recording neuronal activity (electrophysiology, calcium imaging)

Operating neuronal activity (DREADDs, optogenetics)

Experimental lesion

Neuroimaging
