強化学習の神経機構について、コンピュータ上で脳をつくることで理解しようと取り組んでいます。特に神経生物学実験の経験を生かして生物学的に妥当な詳細なモデルを構築することで、強化学習がどのようにして脳で実装されているのかを研究しています。また、様々な研究機関と共同研究を行い脳神経活動データや臨床からの医療データに対してデータサイエンスの手法を用いて解析をすることで、脳の理解や医学への貢献に取り組んでいます。

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 25(21) 11365-11365, Oct 22, 2024 Peer-reviewedWhen exposed to X-rays, scintillators emit visible luminescence. X-ray-mediated optogenetics employs scintillators for remotely activating light-sensitive proteins in biological tissue through X-ray irradiation. This approach offers advantages over traditional optogenetics, allowing for deeper tissue penetration and wireless control. Here, we assessed the short-term safety and efficacy of candidate scintillator materials for neuronal control. Our analyses revealed that lead-free halide scintillators, such as Cs3Cu2I5, exhibited significant cytotoxicity within 24 h and induced neuroinflammatory effects when injected into the mouse brain. In contrast, cerium-doped gadolinium aluminum gallium garnet (Ce:GAGG) nanoparticles showed no detectable cytotoxicity within the same period, and injection into the mouse brain did not lead to observable neuroinflammation over four weeks. Electrophysiological recordings in the cerebral cortex of awake mice showed that X-ray-induced radioluminescence from Ce:GAGG nanoparticles reliably activated 45% of the neuronal population surrounding the implanted particles, a significantly higher activation rate than europium-doped GAGG (Eu:GAGG) microparticles, which activated only 10% of neurons. Furthermore, we established the cell-type specificity of this technique by using Ce:GAGG nanoparticles to selectively stimulate midbrain dopamine neurons. This technique was applied to freely behaving mice, allowing for wireless modulation of place preference behavior mediated by midbrain dopamine neurons. These findings highlight the unique suitability of Ce:GAGG nanoparticles for X-ray-mediated optogenetics. The deep tissue penetration, short-term safety, wireless neuronal control, and cell-type specificity of this system offer exciting possibilities for diverse neuroscience applications and therapeutic interventions.
