This visit was part of a student\u2019s project under the theme \u201cLearning Through Neuroscience,\u201d during which they gave a presentation on brain function to IRCN researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Following the presentation, Dr. Yuichi Makino, Project Lecturer at IRCN, who conducts cutting-edge research on the neural basis of higher brain functions such as attention and memory using mice, provided thoughtful feedback. He also introduced his own research in a comprehensible way, which inspired the students and deepened their interest in neuroscience.<\/p>\n<p>The students demonstrated impressive curiosity, analytical thinking, and a genuine passion for learning and discovery. This visit was a meaningful opportunity to connect with the next generation and inspire future scientific exploration.<\/p>\n<p><wbr><\/p>\n<style>\n    .responsive-table {\n        display: flex;\n        flex-wrap: wrap;\n        justify-content: center;\n        gap: 16px;\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    .responsive-cell {\n        display: flex;\n        flex-direction: column;\n        align-items: center;\n        width: 100%;\n        max-width: 300px;\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    .responsive-cell img {\n        width: 100%;\n        height: auto;\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    .responsive-cell font {\n        font-size: 14px;\n        text-align: center;\n        margin-top: 8px;\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"responsive-table\">\n<div class=\"responsive-cell\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7474-scaled-e1752716587782.jpg\"\/>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"responsive-cell\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7489-scaled-e1752716601520.jpg\"\/>\n            <\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On April 24, 2025, a group of students from Okazaki Junior High School Affiliated to Aichi University of Education visited the International Research Center for Neurointelligence (WPI-IRCN) at the Uni [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":32594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[239],"tags":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7489-scaled-e1752716601520.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9Xf4o-8tF","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32591"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32591"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32914,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32591\/revisions\/32914"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ircn.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
