About
Dr. Tomokazu Nakako is a leading neuroscientist whose research focuses on precision neuroanatomy and comparative brain mapping, with a particular emphasis on the marmoset as a model organism. His most cited 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 that individual anatomical variability significantly impacts the accuracy of brain region targeting. This contribution has been pivotal in advancing multi-modal coordinate frameworks, enabling more reliable and reproducible localisation of neural structures and connectivity in non-human primates. Dr. Nakako’s research bridges the gap between traditional landmark-based methods and modern, individualised approaches, offering critical insights for both basic neuroscience and translational applications. His work is particularly influential for researchers employing marmosets in studies of brain function, connectivity, and disease modelling, marking him as a key figure in the evolution of precision neuroanatomy.
