神戸市出身です。高校は神戸高校です。趣味の紹介：日本刀の研究・鑑賞・鑑定（日本美術刀剣保存協会帯広支部長、北海道銃砲刀剣類登録審査委員)、芦原空手(芦原会館帯広支部長)、手裏剣(火箸型手裏剣)、野鳥観察と野鳥の写真撮影、杖道、バイク

マウスなどの実験小動物や培養神経細胞を用いて、脳・中枢神経系の生理機能の発現や脳神経変性疾患の発症機構の解明とその治療・予防薬の開発に取り組んでいます。脳の生理機能に関しては、哺乳動物の乳仔が短期間に急激な発達を遂げる離乳期の脳に着目し、離乳後に顕在化する自給本能(授乳期の母乳吸乳による受動的な食行動が自ら餌を探し獲得する自発的な食行動に移行する生得的能力)の発現と夜行性行動の獲得(動物成体が示す夜行性日内リズムの完成)に関する分子機構の解明を行っています。また、脳の病気に関しては、パーキンソン病に併発する難治性認知障害の発症機構の解明とその治療薬の開発、当該認知障害やてんかん予防に有効なプロバイオティクスと脳腸相関に関する研究を行っています。

I was born in Kobe City and graduated from Kobe High School. One of my hobbies is the study, appreciation and appraisal of Japanese swords (as the Head of the Obihiro Branch of the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords, and as a member of the Hokkaido Firearms and Swords Licensing Screening Committee). Another is Ashihara karate (as the leader of the Obihiro Branch of the Ashihara Kaikan). Yet others are throwing-star practice (hibachi type), birding and bird photography, jodo, and motor biking.

I mainly work on elucidating the physiological development of the brain and central nervous system and the pathogenic mechanisms of cerebral neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. For the above, I use mice, rats and other experimental animals, and cultured nerve cells, and I work to develop treatment methods. Regarding cerebral physiology, I focus on the brains of mammal infants in the weaning period, which is when they grow rapidly in a short period of time. I conduct research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind the development of the feeding instinct that becomes apparent after weaning (the innate ability to change from the passive diet behavior of suckling during the mother's lactation period to the spontaneous dietary behavior of finding and obtaining food independently) and behind the acquisition of nocturnal behavior (the completion of nocturnal daily rhythm indicated by adult animals). Concerning brain disorders, I work to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms seen in cognitive disorders that feature in Parkinson's disease and to develop treatments for those disorders.
