Studying the neural networks controlling higher brain functions in the marmoset, to gain new insights into information processing and diseases of the human brain.
LinkBrain Science Flight, Piloting to a New Height!
The research team led by Group Leader Takafumi Minamimoto, Senior Researcher Kei Oyama (Natl. Inst. for Quantum Science and Technology) and Professor Masahiko Takada (Kyoto University) demonstrate the distinct contributions of different orbitofrontal cortex projections to various behavioral strategies, providing new insights into the neural basis of value-based adaptive decision-making in primates.
The research team led by Project Researcher Junbing He, Prof. Yoshiyuki Hirano and Prof. Eiji Shimizu (Chiba University) demonstrate that major depressive disorder (MDD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD) show both common and distinct patterns of aberrant brain function at regional and network levels.
Research team led by Toshiyuki Hirabayashi and Takafumi Minamimoto (Natl. Inst. for Quantum Science and Technology) and Masahiko Takada（Kyoto Univ.）identified the orbitofrontal node as a critical partner of the anterior temporal node for object memory by combining whole-brain functional imaging during rest and a short-term object memory task
The research group including Yusuke Kyuragi, Naoya Oishi, Taro Suwa and Toshiya Murai of Department of Psychiatry at Kyoto University developed a tool to efficiently and accurately segment the habenula, a subcortical structure, on 3 Tesla MR images. Subsequently, they revealed the correlation between the volume of the habenula and the severity of depression.
