Overview
Main diseases of our current research are autism spectrum disorder(ASD) including autism, ADHD, Tourette syndrome and childhood Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). From the viewpoint of development of brain and mind, we are trying to investigate pathogenesis of these diseases by integrating phenomenological, neuropsychological, brain-imaging and genetic studies. We are also applying this integrative approach to treatment research including intervention for autistic children.
