PRINCIPAL
INVESTIGATORS
We study mechanism of behaviors such as sleep-wakefulness, feeding behavior, circadian rhythms, emotional processes.
Our goal is to understand the physiological and pharmacological functions of neuropeptides (ex. Orexin, QRFP, etc.) from the molecular and cellular levels to behavior level.
