The 171st Brain Club was held on October 2, 2025, co-sponsored by WPI-BIo2Q. This time, Dr. Kiyonaka Shigeki (Professor, Department of Biomolecular Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University；We welcomed the lecturer to the Institute for Quantum Chemical Innovation, the Future Society Creation Organization (Director of the Institute for Quantum Chemical Innovation).。The topic is "Visualization of native receptors and development of cell-selective regulation techniques for elucidating higher brain functions."。Dr. Kiyonaka and others、Towards elucidating brain function、Integrated in neurons and glial cellsWe are developing receptor visualization and regulation technologies。In particular, we provide a precise and quantitative solution to the dynamic changes of glutamate receptors, which hold the key to the molecular mechanisms of memory and learning.We were introduced to the chemical methodology for analyzing。Also、Existing chemogenetics are cell-controlledIn contrast to the resolution、Endogenous receptorsWe also talked about technology to increase the time resolution that corresponds to activation.。I was once again impressed by the magical chemical modifications and compound synthesis based on the structure of receptors.。We hope to continue to elucidate brain functions through collaborative research using new tools.。
