Neurochemistry（Partnership field）Neurochemistry
Introduction
Laboratory of Neurochemistry has been founded in Research Institute for Developmental Disorders, Aichi Developmental Disability Center, Kasugai-city, next to Nagoya-city. The institute consists of 5 research units, i.e., department of genetics, department of cellular pathology, department of disease model, department of molecular neurobiology, and department of neuronal information. These research units are altogether conducting wide varieties of research on developmental disorders. Thus, a major aim of the laboratory is elucidating the mechanisms underlying developmental abnormalities, such like autism spectrum disorders and congenital and acquired intellectual disabilities, and developing new therapeutic strategies against developmental disorders. We are now focusing especially on several investigations using animal models. However, neuronal cell analyses utilizing human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and clinical electro-physiological studies on patients are being conducted either.
