Welcome to Yuzaki Lab

・Yuzaki Laboratory has been relocated to the Center for Human biology - Microbiota - Quantum Computational Research (Keio University)WPI-Bio2Q.。

In addition to the central nervous system、focusing on synaptic formation mechanisms in the peripheral, autonomic and enteric nervous system、we aim to clarify the linkage between the nervous system and multiple organs, and the pathology caused by its failure, and to develop new treatments.。

A paper by Kaikan-kun has been published.。

Interview-kun's paper "C1ql1-Bai3 signaling is necessary for climbing fiber synapse formation in mature Purkinje cells in coordination with neuronal activity” was published in Molecular Brain magazine。Cerebellar Purkinje cells form multiple climbing fibers and synapses when young、Unnecessary synapses are pruned during development, except for one climbing fiber。In this paper、climbing fiber:1 Purkinje cell:1Even in the mature cerebellum, which has established the control mode of、By increasing the expression of C1ql1 and Bai3、Purkinje cells create multiple climbing fibers and synapses again、Climbing fibers usually branch in the anterior-posterior direction,、Newly formed synapses originate from branches of climbing fibers that diverge in the medial-lateral direction、They discovered that the presence of electrical activity in climbing fibers and Purkinje cells is necessary for new synapse formation.。Even when the GluD2 glutamate receptor is knocked out after maturation,、It is known that the internal and external branches of multiple climbing fibers form synapses with Purkinje cells.、We also found that this phenomenon is also dependent on C1ql1-Bai3 signaling。

The 158th Brain Club was held。

The 158th Brain Club was held on July 14th。This time, Professor Yusaku Iwasaki of Kyoto Prefectural University gave a lecture titled "Direct effects of food-related factors on vagal afferent nerves and their relationship to eating, metabolism, and mental functions."。
It was a semi-closed event that was held onsite only.、A lively discussion took place over time。
