Veterinary System Physiology
<Neural control of body trunk in animal locomotion>

Faculty

NAOMI WADA, PhD, DVM
Professor, Veterinary System Physiology

YASUO HIGURASHI, PhD
Assistant Professor, Laboratory of Veterinary System Physiology

Our Lab

Veterinary physiology is the study of the organ function of various large animals and companion animals. This field of study involves the analysis of body trunk/tail movements, skeletal muscle functions, and neural control mechanisms of brain/spine, seen in the gait motion of quadrupedal animals.

Research Interests

• The trunk neural control
