Touhara Chemosensory Signal Project / Research Director : Kazushige TOUHARA

In this project , we will elucidate a molecular and neural basis for how chemosensory inputs regulate desire or emotion as well as adaptive behaviors.
The findings from this project will provide valuable insights into creation of a novel concept in develo-pment of clinical and healthcare products to improve our quality of life.
