| 研究実績の概要 |
I developed a computational model that integrates the cardiovascular, respiratory, and autonomic nervous systems to simulate how heart rate and blood pressure are regulated. This model was used to compare individuals with typical development and those with different conditions of neurodiversity, such as autism spectrum disorder.
By fitting the model to existing physiological data, I identified differences in how the autonomic nervous system functions in these groups under specific tests, such as posture change and breathing tasks. The results suggest that individuals with autism may show increased sensitivity to nervous system signals and may benefit from breathing-based support.
In the next stage, I will apply this model to analyze more detailed individual differences.

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
In line with the original plan, I developed a multi-system computational model to simulate how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates heart rate and blood pressure under both typical developmental (TD) and neurodivergent conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The model construction was completed more smoothly than expected, and promising results were obtained in investigating autonomic control modes on interoceptive responses and simulating these responses based on sympathetic-parasympathetic balance during various autonomic function tests.
I have presented the findings at three international conferences. A journal paper and another conference presentation are currently in preparation.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
In the next stage, I will apply the model to analyze individual differences more precisely, focusing on how different autonomic control patterns affect heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) responses. Published HR and BP data will be used for model fitting and validation. Specifically, I will map reported data onto simulation surfaces defined by sympathetic and parasympathetic activity under various autonomic tests in both autism and control groups. I will also incorporate respiratory inputs with varying rates and amplitudes to explore their effects on restoring HR and BP responses under dysfunctional ANS regulation. A journal paper and a new conference presentation are currently in preparation.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
Due to the nature of the research in the current fiscal year, which focused mainly on the development and validation of a multi-system model of autonomic regulation, relatively little expenditure was required. Additionally, participation in international conferences incurred lower-than-expected costs.
The remaining funds will be used in the next fiscal year for academic paper translation, proofreading, and publication, as well as for travel to academic conferences and potential upgrades to computing equipment for upcoming data analysis work.
