| Research Project | Exploring molecular bases of decision making from insight into developmental disorders |
| Project Leader | Dr. Shoji TSUJI. Professor, Graduate School of Medicine, Department of Neurology, The University of Tokyo |
| Objectives | Disability in decision making and communication are core symptoms of human developmental disorders including autism. Identification of molecular bases of these disorders will bring a new avenue to establish efficacious therapy and prevention for these disorders. To accomplish this aim, integration of interdisciplinary approaches including approaches based on molecules and networks, those based on animal models including primate models, and those based on cognitive neuroscience focusing on humans will be essential. This project is aimed to elucidate molecular bases of decision making through these interdisciplinary se neurosciences. |
