My scientific aspiration is to elucidate the genetic and circuit basis of sensory perception, sensorimotor integration, and behavioral decisions subject to the changing environment, individual experiences, and physiological alterations. This aspiration originated from my graduate studies on neural aging and my postdoctoral studies on decision-making behaviors in an animal with its whole genome sequenced and full circuit connectivity revealed: the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Here at the Tanimoto Lab, I am thrilled to apply my knowledge about C. elegans to the future directions dedicated to advancing our understanding of sensory representation and decision-making behaviors subject to physiological alterations using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

最近の研究について

    Sensory perception and behaviors are plastic to physiological conditions such as aging. Such perceptual and behavioral flexibility under physiological alterations is crucial for animals to satisfy concomitant adjustments in their internal needs. However, the neural basis of aging in sensory perception and learning behaviors is still largely elusive. Taking advantage of the transparent body and short lifespan of C. elegans, my former colleagues and I identified the neural basis of aging at structural, sensory, and behavioral levels through genetic approaches, functional calcium imaging and behavioral assays (Huang et al. 2020 Aging Cell). This research on age-related remodeling in sensory activity and learning behaviors provides hints on the neural basis of cognitive aging. 
 

メッセージ

    As a graduate student and former faculty member at Nagoya University, I conducted research on the neural basis of aging in sensory perception, learning, and decision-making using the nematode C. elegans. I am thrilled to join Tohoku University and the Tanimoto Lab to apply this knowledge to the study of fly behaviors. Our research has the potential to provide new insights into how animals make decisions and adapt to their environment.

    As a scientist and educator, I am committed to creating a collaborative environment where we can all learn from each other. I am looking forward to working with each and every one of you to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and support your academic pursuits. Together, let us embark on a journey of discovery, fueled by our curiosity for understanding the intricacies of the natural world.
