Overview

Yasuo Ihara is affiliated with Doshisha University in Japan and has contributed extensively to social sciences and psychology, with a focus on evolutionary game theory, language and cultural evolution, and evolutionary psychology. Their work intersects various subfields including sociology and political science, experimental and cognitive psychology, cultural studies, social psychology, and demography.

The scientist's research encompasses a diverse range of topics such as evolutionary game theory and cooperation, language and cultural evolution, evolutionary psychology and human behavior, phonetics and phonology research, primate behavior and ecology, linguistic variation and morphology, and animal behavior and reproduction.

Yasuo Ihara's recent papers demonstrate a focus on both social and biological aspects of human behavior and evolution. Notable publications include:

  • "Cultural niche construction with application to fertility control: A model for education and social transmission of contraceptive use" (2023) published in Theoretical Population Biology
  • "γ-Secretase Activity Is Associated with Braak Senile Plaque Stages" (2020) published in American Journal Of Pathology
  • "Childcare support and child social development in Japan: investigating the mediating role of parental psychological condition and parenting style" (2021) published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • "Switched Aβ43 generation in familial Alzheimer's disease with presenilin 1 mutation" (2021) published in Translational Psychiatry
  • "A demographic test of accidental versus intentional island colonization by Pleistocene humans" (2020) published in Journal of Human Evolution

Frequent collaborators in their research include Takuya Takahashi, Masahito Morita, Atsuko Saito, Mari Nozaki, and Ayaka Onohara, reflecting a combination of interdisciplinary efforts.

The researcher often publishes in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Journal of The Royal Society Interface, Letters on Evolutionary Behavioral Science, Theoretical Population Biology, and American Journal Of Pathology.

Yasuo Ihara has been recognized with several awards related to medical research in neurodegenerative diseases, including the Metlife Foundation Award for Medical Research in Alzheimer's Disease (1996), the Potamkin Prize for Research in Pick's, Alzheimer's, and Related Diseases from the American Academy of Neurology (1995), and the Sedgwick Memorial Medal from the American Public Health Association (1995).
