The 157th Brain Club was held on June 15th。This time, Professor Imayoshi from Kyoto University.、This is a double feature by Mr. Michikawa.。
・Dr. Itaru Imayoshi (Graduate School of Life Sciences/Institute of Medical Biology, Kyoto University) "Optogenetic analysis of transcription factor expression dynamics that determines the differentiation fate of neural stem cells"
・Dr. Takaaki Michikawa (Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Kyoto University) "Technology and prospects for observing the whole brain"
It was held on-site only.、Enthusiasm for science by both professors led to a lively discussion.。

alreadyGuidanceHowever, Yuzu Lab has been selected for the International Joint Research Acceleration Fund (International Leading Research) ``Multidimensional analysis of memory mechanism – from nm to mesoscale / millisecond to day scale''。Next 7 years (up to 10 years)、We will work on international exchange and development of young researchers, mainly postdocs and graduate students.。

postdocs and graduate students、Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience (USA) and Interdisciplinary Institute of Neuroscience using this framework (IINS) -Short-term and mid-term study abroad at Bordeaux Neurocampus (France)。Interested graduate students and postdocs should visit Grant's website。the poster isInternational Leading Research Poster 230613

At the 156th BrainClub、Dr., Laboratory for Learning and Memory Neural Networks, RIKEN Center for Brain Science. Joshua P. We invited Dr. Johansen (5/10)(Wed) 16:00~17:30）。The title is "Constructing Emotional Representations in the Brain"。sensory input、physiological state of the body、and the cognitive component、Mechanisms controlling memory formation via emotion、He talked about hierarchical and distributed neural network models with recent findings.。The day was held in a hybrid format, and lively discussions took place over time.。

2022Annual (54th) Naito Memorial Prize for Science Promotionwas awarded to Yuzuzaki。3The presentation ceremony was held at the Industrial Club of Japan on the 16th of the month.。
The award-winning research theme is "Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that control functional and structural synaptic plasticity"。Thank you to the collaborators, Yuzu Lab's colleagues and OB。

34 days from 6th to 9th of the month、Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST))Meeting after a long time atWorkshop “Nervous System Assembly”It has been made。Poster presentation + Flash talk by Oishi, a graduate student from Yuzaki Lab、Yuzuzaki gave a talk。Blessed with good weather, a lively discussion took place.。                                                                                       Tomi Yoshida of OIST was the organizer。

On November 10, 2018, Keio University launched the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI).)Adopted as a base for、2The kick-off meeting was held on March 3rd.。(Human Biology x MicroBiome x Quantum computing = Bio2Q)As、Focusing on the Microbiome、How human homeostasis is controlled by mucosal epithelium, immunity, nerves, metabolism, etc.、A 10-year project that aims to elucidate using quantum computing with AI。Under Director Honda、Yuzuzaki as the representative of the neural control team、I will also participate as a special assistant to the center director.。

2022JSPS International Joint Research Acceleration Fund (International Leading Research) to “Multidimensional Analysis of Memory Mechanisms”–from nm to mesoscale/millisecond to day scale”.。Bordeaux Neuroscience Institute（Dr. Choquet）、Max Planck Florida Institute（Drs. Yasuda & Fitzpatrick) and Japan.。Represented by Professor Yasunori Hayashi of Kyoto University、At domestic bases of Keio University, NIG, Niigata University, and the University of Tokyo、Next 7 years (up to 10 years)、We will work on international exchange and development of young researchers, mainly postdocs and graduate students.。

For postdocs and graduate studentsSupport for short-term and long-term study abroadPlease spread the information so that you can watch it.。AlsoSupport for young researchers when they become independentYou can do it, so please make the most of your chance.。

International Symposium from January 6th to January 9th, 2023 at Keio University Mita CampusNeurovascular Unit Conference 2023It has been made。Supported by the Japan-US Brain Research Cooperative Program、On the Japanese side, Prof. Hitoshi Nakahara, Department of Neurology, Keio University、On the US side, Mr. Ken Arai from MGH was the organizer.。Yuzuzaki gave a keynote speech。

Small molecules administered to adults、As a new technology that visualizes how and where in the brain it is distributed like a snapshot、We have developed a method for immobilizing small molecules using paraformaldehyde, which is often used in tissue fixation.。by this method、metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu1、AMPA-type glutamate receptor、Succeeded in visualizing the localization pattern of dopamine receptors after ligand administration。This research was supported by ERATO/CREST.、In collaboration with Nagoya University Seichu Lab、published in Chemit was done。
