Dr. Teruhiro Okuyama of the Institute for Quantitative Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo, visited us.、The 152nd BrainClub was held (12/23(Fri) 16:00~17:30）。The title of his presentation was "Neural Mechanisms of Social Memory in the Hippocampus"。How "social memory" is processed as information in the ventral hippocampus、Obtained using calcium imaging and optogenetics、He gave a lecture on the results of his research to date.。In addition, please introduce the latest data on the brain representation mechanism of life and death.、It was a lively time for discussion from beginning to end.、I thought it was good too.)。

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。
