Exploring Principles of Architecture Underlying
Brain Function and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Our laboratory investigates the mechanisms of myelin formation and repair to elucidate the role of myelin in postnatal brain development and the pathogenesis of demyelinating diseases. We aim to identify novel drug target candidates based on understanding brain operational/architectural principles and pathological mechanisms. We also study how environmental factors such as stress and aging alter neuronal metabolism, function, morphology, and behavior.　Learn more about our research
