2025 Greetings for the year：

2025Retirement at the end of March 2019、I retired from Keio University School of Medicine。3The final lecture was held on the 12th of the month.Bridge Over Troubled Synapse: C1q protein、wheels、And then beyond"I did it (movieSee here)。On the same day, a resignation celebration was held at the Meiji Memorial Hall.。Researchers who once again conducted research together in the lab、Maya Kono、technician、Secretaries、Furthermore, to all those involved in the Faculty of Medicine and Keio University.、We would like to express our sincere gratitude。

4From 1st of this month, he will be transferred to the Center for Human Biology - Microbiota - Quantum Computational Research (WPI-Bio2Q) at Keio University as a special professor and special assistant to the Center Director.、We have decided to continue our research in Shinano Town.。Until now, we have been working to create and remove the mechanisms of synapses that make up the neural circuits of the brain.、We have been working on elucidating it at the molecular level。What's going forward?、Utilizing the technical foundations we have cultivated through our research into the central nervous system,、Focusing on synaptic formation mechanisms in the peripheral, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems、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.。

As for classroom personnel、22Associate Professor Kakegawa, who has been researching together over the years, has been promoted to the Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Science, Gakushuin University, from April 1, 2025.。I will be assigned to the office with Assistant Professor Ito。

Award-related news、Associate Professor Kakegawa won the Nomura Tatsuji Award in November 2024。Shimizu Marin, a fourth-year medical student, won the Junior Researcher Poster Award at the Japan Neuroscience Conference held in July 2024.。Nozawa Kazuya, who earned a degree from Yuzuzaki Laboratory, currently studying at Harvard Medical School, has won the prestigious Human Frontier Science Program Long-term Fellowship.。Graduate student Shiozaki Mari won the Poster Award (first prize) at The 3rd Keio University WPI-Bio2Q International Symposium held in March 2025.。everyone、Congratulations! Yuzuzaki is2024Uehara Prize in 2019Awarded、The award ceremony was held on March 11th, 2025。（Updated on SeptemberThe award-winning lecture will be available on YouTubeSo please)。

Research funding was launched in November 2024, with a new Moonshot research project, "Development research on the reservoir function that supports brain resilience towards overcoming dementia and methods to enhance it (PM):It was selected for Kyoto University Isa).。For neuropsychiatric disorders, including dementia、Exploring how synapses can restore and maintain neural circuit functions。In February 2025, we will be launching the GTIE GAP Fund's "Artificial Dopamine Synapse Connectors" commercialization：It was selected for the development of a drug for treating Parkinson's disease that repairs and regenerates neural circuits.。Aiming to become a startup in a few years。Continue、In international leading research、France (Bordeaux IINS):Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience）、America(The Max Planck Institute for Neuroscience) and Japan (Keio University, Kyoto University, Tokyo University, Niigata University, and Genetics Research Institute) will work together to advance memory research。Moonshot Research also states, "Understanding the principle of working intestinal bacteria towards healthy life expectancy and its application (PM):Keio University Honda)、We will continue to study synaptic molecules, which are the basis of brain-gut correlations.。

I look forward to your further guidance and encouragement. Thank you.。

—-My introduction, as usual—–

Thing that I like：
-Scientific discussion。
- Hanging around in the bookstores and stationery shops。I also like the electrician。
- Reading (promiscuously)。I have read all of Akira Yoshimura, Nanao Shiono, Mari Yonehara, Takamasa Kadota, and Yu Sato.。
- To eat delicious foods。I was gaining weight monotonously, but after receiving the results of my health check (fatty liver) in November 2024, I successfully lost 5kg.。

Things that I don't like：
· Formalities and pretenses。It's good to be "honest."。
- Wasabizuke (Pickled Japanese horseradish)。Rakkyo (Pickles Japanese shallots)。Nara pickles。
･ Hair decline trend - a lull。
