It is known that the brain exhibits high performance when it is adjusted to a critical point between a stable state and unstable one. In this study, we mathematically revealed that the brain exhibits functional exploratory behavior when its state is adjusted to a critical point, and furthermore, empirical data on human showed that people with higher cognitive function exhibit such exploratory behavior. This finding is expected to provide fundamental insights into the extraction of signals for early detection of cognitive decline and the development of intervention methods to prevent cognitive decline., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2018/04 -2022/03, Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Institute of Physical and Chemical Research - How are individuals who do not have biological rhythms in the field adapt to their living environment?

Locomotor activities and circadian rhythms of long-reared (more than 35 years) and wild populations of Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Insect) were compared. We found significantly higher percentages of arrhythmic individuals in the long-reared population compared to the population caught in the wild. Only males were compared because no difference between the sexes was found in the percentage of arrhythmic beetles. Next, comparison of the circadian rhythms of wild and long-reared beetle populations showed no significant difference between the populations. The result suggests that the circadian rhythm in T. castaneum has been lost during long-rearing under an artificial condition. We will discuss arrythmicity in organisms., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2016/04 -2019/03, Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, Okayama University - Development of algorithm for quantitative data on animal behavior and analysis on long term behavior

In this research project, I focused on social insects, Diacamma sp., and constructed an experimental setup that the position and angle of each individual can be observed at 1 frame per second by attaching tags on ant individuals and using tracking software. Then, I revealed how the colony can be integrated and can exhibit collective behavior. Furthermore, I theoretically analyzed searching behavior in animals and clarified the condition for evolution of sexual dimorphism in searching behavior., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2015/08 -2017/03, Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up, National Institute of Informatics
