I first came across olfactory system research while researching neuronal regeneration. Olfactory research has excellent model systems for studying the brain’s universal mechanisms such as neural plasticity, learning memory, and emotional development. There is no doubt that this field of research will lead the world of neuroscience and we hope to contribute as much as we can to this development.

Mutsuo TaniguchiAssociate Professor
In my research, I analyze the electrical activity between mitral cells and granule cells in accessory olfactory bulb slices using the patch clamp technique.
Shogo ShimizuLecturer (On-Campus)
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.

My research focuses on the effect olfactory stimulation (which affects feeding behavior) has in relation to motor functions and posture control. More specifically, through analysis of FRT levels and fMRI brain activity before and after exposure to a seasoning or spice, I hope to prove the medical benefits of cooking as a form of occupational therapy for stroke patients.
