[Neuroscience] Brain Function - Research Group

This group explores how the inhibition of antigravity muscle activity or physical exercise affects the brain and nervous system. Using a combination of immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology that observes muscular activity, motor function, and neural circuit activity in animals, we elucidate the interaction between bodily functions and cerebral functions. Furthermore, by analyzing the activity and formation of nerve cells resulting from the load of physical exercise, we develop physical training methods designed to revitalize declining cerebral functions and propose new kinesitherapies and rehabilitation strategies.
