We have organized a symposium, entitled "Old but new synaptic organizers: diverse but common mechanisms" in the 9th FENS Forum of Neuroscience in MIlan, Italy with Drs. Radu Aricescu (Oxford Univ, UK), Michi Yuzaki (Keio Univ, Japan), Cagla Eroglu (Duke Univ, USA), Yuki Goda (RIKEN BSI, Japan). : diverse but common mechanisms "and was organize。After the symposium at the shop of Sardina cuisine (Nochola Allen will have a Photo smartphone of Radu)。

In 3 to 4 July in Rome6th International cerebellum Society SymposiumI gave an invited talk at。

Delta type 1 glutamate receptor (GluD1) is、Delta receptor type 2 with (GluD2)、Not know function while belong to the glutamate receptor family、It has been treated as an orphan receptor。The GluD1 protein has been considered also a little present in the mature brain。However、Abnormalities GluD1 gene in human mental disorders are reported one after another in recent years、It can be seen that the phenotype, such as aggression increased and social deterioration even in GluD1 gene-deficient mice can be seen、Function of GluD1 has been attracting attention。On this occasion、By developing GluD1 specific antibody、Specifically GluD1 was the first time that the expression evident in various brain regions such as the brain, the limbic system, striatum, cerebellum also in the mature brain。In particular by GluD1 genetic defects in the cerebellum、Synapses between parallel fibers (granule cell axons) intervening neurons were found to decrease significantly。
These results have been published in theJournal of NeurosciencePublished in、It has been featured in "This Week in The Journal." It was featured in。It is the result of joint research with Niigata cerebral Research, Sakimura Institute with a focus on Hokkaido University School of Medicine Ken Watanabe。

IST AustriaInInivited talkThe we。Prof. It was the invitation of Shigemoto。

A job opening for a research technician。
1) that you have mastered the basic techniques, such as molecular biology and cell culture。
2) that there is that dealing with the mouse。
We will assist the management of auxiliary and laboratory General of other researchers。Also actively support however possible to carry out research has its own theme in consultation。Through the work of our laboratory、I want to aim their careers up with to contribute to the forefront of neuroscience research、We are looking for people who are ambitious and sense of responsibility that。

This recruitment has been closed。 Thank you very much for your application。
