AboutAbout the lab
Studying brain function and psychiatric disorders in mice
The Higher Brain Function Lab uses mice to study proteins involved in brain function and psychiatric disorders.
Prof. Hikida's research keywords include schizophrenia, neural circuits, neurotransmission, memory, basal ganglia, and drug addiction.
The lab belongs to the Integrated Protein Science Division of the Institute for Protein Research at Osaka University.
Key terms
- Neural circuits
- Circuits formed by connections among nerve cells, which transmit information.
- Basal ganglia
- A cluster of nerve cells deep in the brain, a region involved in movement, learning, and more.
