He is also a faculty member of interdisciplinary Mindich Child Health &amp; Development Institute, and Friedman Brain Institute. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of developmental critical periods for cortical maturation to establish perception and cognition relevant to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. His laboratory takes an integrated approach, combining molecular, anatomical, imaging, electrophysiological, and behavior methodologies using mouse models. His research revealed key molecular and circuit level mechanisms of cortical maturation supporting perception (Journal of Neuroscience 2020, 2016, 2015, Science 2010), cognition (Neuron 2021, Nature Communications 2020), and social behavior (Nature Neuroscience 2020, Nature Communications 2020). Hirofumi Morishita received his PhD from Osaka University after Psychiatry residency at National Center Hospital of Neurology and Psychiatry in Tokyo and medical school training at Kyushu University (MD). Before joining Mount Sinai, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Takao Hensch lab, Children\u2019s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n<p>Awards &amp; Honors<\/p>\n<p>2021-: Full Membership, American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP)<br \/>2020: One Mind Bipolar Research Award<br \/>2020-: Regular Member, NIH study section Neuroscience of Basic Visual Processes (NBVP)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Funding (Active)<\/p>\n<p>2020-2023: R01 EY031009, National Eye Institute<br \/>2019 &#8211;
