Research

We aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying higher brain functions, such as motor control and cognitive behavior, and to explore the pathophysiology of neurological/neuropsychiatric disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. To investigate the structural and functional substrates for complex neural networks in highly developed primate brains (macaques, marmosets), we not only employ multidisciplinary approaches by integrating neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and molecular biology, but also develop cutting-edge methodologies with viral vectors, such as gene transfer techniques to produce a variety of primate models.
