To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of fundamental life processes at the behavioral level common to vertebrates, my research encompasses mammals (rats and mice) as the main subjects, as well as birds, amphibians, and fish. Recently, I have also included invertebrates (flatworms, such as marine planarians) from an evolutionary developmental perspective, aiming to unravel the neural control mechanisms of behavior that are more universally applicable across the animal kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department of Biology Homepage &nbsp; Prof. SAKAMOTO Hirotaka E-mail: hsakamo [at] okayama-u.ac.jp) Neuroendoc [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":150,"menu_order":185,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-layout_single.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-524","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-25 11:27:41","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1723,"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/524\/revisions\/1723"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
