About
Dr. Kantaro Nishigori is a leading neuroscientist whose research focuses on neuroanatomy, multi-modal brain mapping, and precision targeting in animal models, particularly the marmoset. His most impactful work, "Anatomical variability, multi-modal coordinate systems, and precision targeting in the marmoset brain" (2022, 21 citations), challenges the conventional reliance on single-subject stereotactic atlases by demonstrating how individual anatomical variability can compromise experimental accuracy. Nishigori’s major contribution lies in advocating for population-based, multi-modal coordinate frameworks that integrate imaging and histology to improve the reliability of brain region localisation. This work has significant implications for translational neuroscience, where precise targeting is critical for studying neural circuits and developing therapies. By highlighting the limitations of standard atlases and proposing more robust methods, Nishigori is helping to refine experimental design in animal research. His findings are especially valuable for students and researchers working with non-human primates, offering a path toward more reproducible and accurate neuroanatomical studies.
