Laboratory overview
Stability and flexibility of our brain
The human brain can function both stably and flexibly. Why can we easily remember the face and the way of speaking of someone you just met while keeping the vast memory of the events in decades? The precise functional regulation of the connections (synapses) between neurons underlies the stability and flexibility of the human brain.
Research
Our laboratory focuses on the research of neuronal cells using microscopic techniques.
We develop new imaging technologies, which help us discover the unique functions of the brain.
