About me


Background
Takahiro Inoue received his PhD from Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan. He is a physiotherapist and engaged in clinical work during his time in Hokkaido. His previous study investigated the synergistic effects between exercise and pharmacological inhibition of GABA receptors on post-stroke recovery. His main interests are to unveil the basic principles of reorganization of neural circuits after stroke and to develop a novel therapeutic strategy for stroke rehabilitation.

Research
Neural Basis of Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is widely recognized as an effective approach for promoting recovery after stroke, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. My research seeks to uncover the neural basis of rehabilitation and develop strategies to further enhance its therapeutic effects.

Neural Circuit Rewiring after Stroke
Damaged neural circuits cannot be fully restored after stroke. Instead, increasing evidence suggests that recovery depends on the reorganization of spared neural circuits. My research aims to reveal the mechanisms underlying this reorganization and leverage this knowledge to promote functional recovery.

Inhibitory Systems in Motor Circuits
Excitatory and inhibitory neurons work together to shape motor function. While recent studies have revealed the remarkable diversity of inhibitory neurons, how they are integrated into motor circuits remains poorly understood. My research aims to understand how inhibitory neurons regulate motor circuit activity and coordinate movement.
