Neural Circuit Mechanisms for Generalization

Our research focuses on how brain circuits enable flexible behavior through “generalization”—the ability to use past experiences to make inferences about new objects or situations. This is essential for adapting to complex real-world tasks, as generalization allows us to transfer skills across similar tasks.

To understand how the brain supports generalization, we will use large-scale neural recording and manipulation techniques in mice, along with computational modeling. Through this research, we aim to understand neural circuit mechanisms underlying generalization, provide insights for adaptive artificial intelligence, and develop new therapeutic strategies for cognitive recovery.
