【Announcement of the 176th WPI-IIIS Seminar / 第176回WPI-IIISセミナーのお知らせ (This seminar will be held in English)】

Dear Colleagues,

We are going to have the 176th WPI-IIIS Seminar on-site/on-line as follows.

Date: Tuesday, February 28, 2023
Time: 10:00 -11:00
Venue: Hybrid, 1F Auditorium, IIIS Building & WPI-IIIS Teams
*To register, please visit the URL below: Seminar information will be sent to registered participants. (Deadline: February 27th)

Speaker: Dr. Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui
Tohoku University Graduate School of Life Sciences

Subject: “Medial frontal cortex and the regulation of mood and motivation for social behavior”

Summary: The medial frontal cortex (MFC), including the anterior cingulate cortex, appears to have a unique role in integrating cognitive and emotional information. Dorsal MFC has a strong connection with the prefrontal cortex, whereas ventral MFC has strong connections with nucleus accumbens and amygdala. I will make a brief overview of our recent study on the anatomy and function of the monkey MFC, using viral vectors for neurotracing and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for functional interventions, with an aim to reveal its role in the regulation of mood and motivation for social behavior. I will also introduce our new R&D project aiming to integrate neural monitoring for mind sensing and virtual reality and robotics for behavioral interventions, for the establishment of communication aids, together with its ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI).
