Neural Systems Lab (Graduate School of Life Sciences)
Machine-translated · View original
A neuroscience lab that seeks to understand the brain's higher functions through their functional architecture.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding higher brain functions through functional architecture
The Neural Systems Lab aims to elucidate the higher functions of the brain, and for that purpose places importance on understanding the brain's functional architecture.
People think, make judgments, and act based on stimuli from the outside and on information they have stored in memory.
The lab emphasizes understanding functional localization, the neural structures that support functions, how information is represented, and the steps of information processing as one connected whole.
At the graduate level, the lab corresponds to the Neural Systems group in the Department of Brain Sciences, Graduate School of Life Sciences.
Key terms
- Higher functions
- Complex functions carried out by the brain, such as responding to stimuli, thinking and judgment, and learning
- Functional architecture
- A concept that includes all the elements involved in realizing a function, such as functional localization, neural structures, information representation, and processing steps
- Functional localization
- The idea that particular functions are carried out by particular locations in the brain
ResearchResearch themes
Starting from the premise that the brain is an extremely capable information-processing device, the lab aims to elucidate the brain's higher functions. To that end, its goal is to understand functional localization, the neural structures that support functions, how information is represented, and the steps of information processing as one connected whole. The content of the lab's website dates from around 2018.
