Expertise

My study field is social neuroscience. I am interested in how social environment affect the physiological conditions and behaviors of individuals.

Currently, I am interested in the influence of pheromone on neurogenesis.

I, myself, was a "pure" behavior person studying developmental/comparative psychology and animal behavior/ethology until I received my Ph.D., and, since then, I have been studying biophysic/cell biology of sperm cells, chemical engineering of microfluidics, and neuroscience of the neurogenesis at SVZ.


Research Interests: olfactory communication, olfactory neuroscience; influences of pheromones on social behaviors, adult neurogenesis, sperm activity and spermatogenesis, mammary glands, milk, and the next generation; microscopic analysis of cell movements; history of animals in human culture, history of keeping birds in Japan
