Innovative Life Science
1. Purpose
Currently, the development of technologies and equipment in important areas such as medical care, drug discovery,
and welfare centering on medicine and pharmaceutical sciences, which are closely related to human life itself, is fast
evolving everyday. In fact, such development in medical and pharmaceutical areas alone is limited to the expansionof biotechnology essential for medical care, development of advanced biotechnology-based medical devices such as
new drugs, protein chips and cellular chips, computational chemistry and synthetic technology necessary for drug
discovery, and progress of manufacturing technology of drugs. There is a growing need for scientific education incognitive information science, biotechnology, electronic information, and device engineering, new technology suchas nano technology in the areas of science and technology, and explanation of life phenomena.
We have established the “Graduate School of Innovative Life Science” that combines the field of developing
electronic measuring systems and precision instruments, which are necessary for medical care, the area of simulating
information transmission and processing methods in the brain and nervous system and applying the advantages, thefield of analyzing structures and actions of chemical compounds for drug discovery, computerizing/predicting, andsynthesizing them, and the area of developing new functional materials necessary for assisting biological functions
by making full use of nano technology with the medical and pharmaceutical areas based on the latest life sciences.
We are aiming to develop human resources who can respond to various social needs by providing cutting-edge
interdisciplinary education and research on basic studies of human life system, maintenance of health, and support
through the coordination of related teachers in the faculty activities of medical science, pharmaceutical science, basic
science, and engineering.

2. Structure and Credit Standard(1) Majors and course terms[1] There are three majors in this Graduate School of Innovative Life Science (Ph.D. program): Cognitive andEmotional Neuroscience, Biological Information Systems, and Advanced Nano and Sciences.

Educational area

Recently, incidence of dementia in longevity societies and problems due toemotional and behavioral abnormalities in juveniles are increasing.

• System Emotional Science• Molecular Brain Science• Molecular Neuroscience• Integrative Neuroscience• Molecular Neuropathology• Neuropsychiatry• Neurosurgery• Anatomy and Neuroscience• Clinical and Cognitive
Neuroscience• Behavioral Physiology• Systems Function andMorphology

The brain is the only organ that develops during the lifetime under the influencesof various factors such as many molecules induced by genes, the antenatal
environment, and the environment of the external world after birth (social
environment). Abnormalities in these material processes in the brain lead toemotional and behavioral abnormalities, while these emotional and behavioral
abnormalities affect these material processes and change not only the brain
structure but also the physiological functions. This department aims to develop
sophisticated healthcare staff and leading brain scientists who can independently
deal with mental problems and emotional/behavioral abnormalities, which are
rapidly becoming problematic in developed countries, by overviewing themthrough interdisciplinary research approaches including specialized fields ofbasic medicine at the molecular, cellular, and system behavior levels as well as
clinical medicine and human social sciences.
The goal of this department is to establish science for humanity (“integrated
science of the heart”), and the following items are targeted:• Neuroscience-based resolution of recognition/emotion/memory• Neuroscience in the development of emotional and mental behavioral
disorders• Neuroscience for the development of higher brain dysfunction and evolution
in preventive care
• Establishment of molecular biological grounds for brain development• Promotion of brain-scientific researches by utilizing the combined groundsof medical sciences and pharmaceutical sciences and drug discovery• Cross-sectoral analysis of neural information networks

and neuroscience. Lab members are expected to be engaged in research related toat least one of the following projects: 1) to examine the neurobiologicalmechanisms of biased cognitions towards emotional information; 2) to evaluate theefficacy of cognitive interventions including cognitive bias modification, cognitive
training, and cognitive behavioral therapy for clinical and non-clinical population

We employ multidisciplinary approach to investigate functional and morphologicalbasis of the brain which allows the coding of sensory information, especiallysounds, and the sensory perception. Followings are the examples of the approach.
(1) By combining neurophysiological and neuroanatomical techniques, theorganization of neuronal circuitry which enable a specific function will beclarified.
(2) We will identify functional, morphological, and molecular details of neuronalcell types which constitute a neuronal circuitry to establish functional standpointof each cell type.
(3) By comparing non-model animals which have unique specializations forsensory behaviors with model animals, details of the functional organization of
sensory neuronal circuitry and its evolution will be clarified.
(4) By manipulating specific elements of a given neuronal circuitry, relationshipbetween changes of activation patterns of the neuronal circuit and behavioral
changes will be clarified.
