At the Takahashi lab, we utilize neuroimaging techniques to investigate the structural and connectional foundations of human brain development.
We conduct both basic and translational research on brain development, focusing on neuronal migration, axonal elongation, and maturation of brain pathways. Our subject pools include human subjects— ranging from fetal to young adult ages— of typical development as well as those diagnosed with various developmental disorders. We also investigate brains of non-human subjects such to build better understanding of human brain development through cross-species comparisons. LEARN MORE
