Systems Biology of Neural Circuits and Behaviors

Toyoshima Laboratory

Our research is aiming to the system level understanding of the neural information processing between environmental ques and animal behaviors by using whole-brain imaging and mathematical modeling.


Whole-brain imaging by 4D microscope
Simultaneous measurements of neural activity and behaviors
Mathematical modeling and simulations
