A degree in our laboratory、Will continue papers Aya Ishida was Gakushin Fellow of the (SPD) at Ken Okabe Tokyo University, Dr. (now the United States studying abroad)Neuron 志 (2012 年 11 月 号).。It is the result of joint research with the University of Tokyo Ken Okabe Ken Watanabe Hokkaido。

In the central nervous system、I do not know still much about how the synapse is going to be formed。In this study、By over time imaging using living neurons、It was to clarify this issue。The synapses between cerebellar granule cells and Purkinje cells、After postsynaptic structures (spine) of the previously formed、Presynaptic will be formed。Is Cbln1 molecules released from the granule cells、By binding to presynaptic Neurexin and postsynaptic GluD2、To induce the formation of small protrusions from presynaptic、It was found to form synapses front of the structure (the button)。
