Detailed Information/Report on Activities
The morphogenesis of neural circuits during normal development, the degeneration that occurs when suffering from particular diseases, and the reorganization of neural circuits during recovery from traumatic injuries occur in a highly dynamic manner. The structure of nervous system tissues is closely related to their function, and it is extremely important to analyze fine structures in detail in order to understand neural function. We are collaborating with many researchers from various countries to analyze microstructures mainly in the nervous system, using various types of electron and light microscopes. We use various kinds of electron microscopes, light microscopes, and many other imaging instruments with molecular biological techniques and apply them to a wide range of the research fields.
