Kenji Mizuseki joined the Osaka City University in 2015 to study mechanisms of information processing in the hippocampus and its related structures. Before joining the Osaka City University, Mizuseki served as a staff scientist at RIKEN and a postdoc at Kyoto University, where he studied the mechanisms of neural development using mouse embryonic stem cells. As a postdoc and an assistant research professor at Rutgers University and as an assistant research professor at New York University, Mizuseki studied the mechanisms of memory in the hippocampus-entorhinal cortex circuitry using large-scale recording in behaving rats in the lab of Professor György Buzsáki. As a senior scientist at Allen Institute for Brain Science, Mizuseki studied mechanisms of information processing in the visual system using large-scale electrophysiological recording. Mizuseki's current interest is to quantitatively characterize and mechanistically explain the phenomenon of information processing in terms of the dynamics of neuronal circuits in both awake and sleeping animals. Mizuseki received a M.D. and a Ph.D. in physiology from Kyoto University in Japan, where he studied the molecular mechanisms of early neural development in the frog.
