Research<\/h2>\r\n

\r\nFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) facilitates the quantitative assessment of brain structure and function in vivo. Our laboratory conducts human brain MRI studies in healthy adolescents and in patients with psychiatric disorders to understand the mechanisms linking them. Recently, we have reported a new brain-based classification related to cognitive and social functions, using a large-scale data set from a multi-site consortium. Current research is directed toward elucidating psychiatric disorders by revealing their neurobiological substrates and developing biomarkers for clinical applications. In addition, given the importance of international collaboration among MRI researchers, of connecting human and animal research, and of applying machine learning and AI techniques..., we collaborate extensively with multi-disciplinary researchers.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Biography<\/h2>\r\n

\r\nI obtained an M.D. degree from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo in 2004. After a junior residency, I started psychiatry training at the University of Tokyo Hospital in 2006 and then worked as a psychiatrist at Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital from 2007 to 2012. I became an Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo Hospital in 2012 and concurrently entered the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Tokyo earning a Ph.D. degree in 2017, before joining IRCN in 2019 where I manage the human fMRI scanner facility. At the same time, I am continuing research on the neuroimaging of psychiatric disorders and adolescent development.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
