Education

Thinking Through Mechanisms.

We emphasize not only acquiring knowledge, but also developing the ability to reason through the mechanisms of biological phenomena.

Educational policy

We aim to help students understand the nervous system by connecting molecules, cells, circuits, and the whole organism. Through lectures, laboratory training, and research mentoring, students learn the scientific thinking that supports medicine.

Office hours

Consultations regarding lectures, laboratory classes, student life, and research are welcome. Please visit the Division of Neuroscience on the 7th floor of the Basic Medical Research Building. Since we may be away, contacting us by email in advance is recommended.

Undergraduate education

Lectures

We provide lectures centered on neurophysiology for medical students, covering neuronal electrical activity, synaptic transmission, sensory and motor systems, and higher brain functions.

Laboratory classes

In physiology laboratory classes, students measure and analyze biological signals such as EMG and EEG.

Graduate education

AreaContents
Research themeWe develop research themes by connecting students' interests with the laboratory's strengths.
Experimental methodsStudents learn histological analysis, MRI analysis, behavioral experiments, biological signal analysis, and electrophysiological approaches when appropriate.
Scientific communicationWe provide guidance in reading papers, designing research plans, presenting at conferences, writing manuscripts, and scientific English.

Laboratory rotations and visits

Students at any stage are welcome if they are interested in neuroscience.
