Research and Education Center for Brain Science
Brain science research at Hokkaido University has a long history. Brain science continues to develop as a research field that leads to new developments through collaboration between researchers in many fields, including education, psychology, and social science as well as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, health sciences, life sciences, engineering, and information science. The Research and Education Center for Brain Science was established as a virtual organization with concurrently assigned faculty members from various departments, aiming to integrate these resources, promote integrative brain science research, and establish a university-wide educational system. In order to provide a wide range of brain-related education that transcends the boundaries of existing graduate schools, the center has established the Graduate Program of Brain Science and offers a variety of educational opportunities.
