We are studying the neural mechanism mediating mammalian parenting and attachment. As an experimental model, we study laboratory mice, common marmosets, and humans, of which both parents as well as siblings take care of the young.

【From 2023.4~, we move to Tokyo Institute of Technology, School of Life Science and Technology!】

I thank all the lab members and colleagues for your cooperation and support at RIKEN. Please keep in contact and work together to elucidate the neural mechanisms of parent-infant relations!
