Functional Anatomy
Overview
Our lab has two research groups. One group is working on neuroscience, including brain connectome and pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disease and stroke. Another group’s theme is reproductive biology and medicine.
In regard to medical education, we are in charge of the lectures and practical training of histology, neuroanatomy, and gross anatomy for first- and second-year medical school students. Our lectures are mainly intended to bridge basic and clinical medicine.
