RESEARCH BACKGROUNDS
During his doctoral course, he majored in neurobiology and studied cell biology, electrophysiology, and animal behavior. In particular, he studied the cognitive function of glial cells with interest, e.g. astrocytic roles in sensory signal transmission, cognitive flexibility, and cognitive dysfunctions. Later, he began new studies on the causes of poor sociality in animals, mechanisms that can restore sociality, and the effects of maternal attachment formation on social development.
