According to Wikipedia, is an associate professor at the University of Tokyo. He was born in Tokyo, Japan and is of Japanese nationality. Most of the research that Kuniyoshi conducts focuses on neurobiology. History Kuniyoshi has worked at many institutes. Following completion of his PhD, he began working as a research associate at The University of Tokyo. Three years following this he moved to Boston, Massachusetts for two years. His first year he worked at Harvard as a research fellow in the Department of Radiology. The second year he was a working fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1997 Kuniyoshi moved back to Japan and worked in the Department of Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Tokyo as associate professor. Currently he is working in the Department of Integrated Science at the same university. He is a member of the Japan Neuroscience Society and the Society for the Neurobiology of Language.
