In my research, I analyze the electrical activity between mitral cells and granule cells in accessory olfactory bulb slices using the patch clamp technique.

I have conducted research on the mechanisms of urination and therapeutic drugs for urinary disorders. Since transferring to this department, I have also been learning about neurophysiology related to the olfactory system and drug delivery technologies.

Before I moved to the Nursing Course, my research was focused on synaptic plasticity in the main olfactory bulb underlying aversive olfactory learning in young rats. Now I am interested in human olfaction. Through clinical study on olfactory impairment, I would like to develop olfactory rehabilitation as the latest treatment.

Our department challenging to the development of neuroscience through neural plasticity, learning memory, and emotional development by using neural circuit mechanisms. It’s really exciting matter that odor input induced emotion and motivation in the brain which helps people to live happily and comfortably in this world. Our laboratory also try to improve the quality of life after maturity of the brain by using this neural circuit mechanism. My research focuses on the molecular mechanism of neural circuit.

Our lab focuses on neural circuit mechanism includes neural plasticity, memory learning and emotional development. Olfactory learning (the ability to learn through smell) plays a crucial role in how humans and animals perceive and interact with their environment, determining the behaviors like food selection, social interactions, memory formation and danger detection. I am focusing on the neural mechanism regulating odor guided appetitive behavior by neuromodulatory signaling molecules.
