March at the 24-April 1、Kaneda Associate Professor decided to promotion to the Nippon Medical School Graduate School of Medicine professor as successor of Yasuo Sakuma teacher。congratulations。3Modest in the month 19 daysat the Art ComplexThe we。

Matsuda Shinnanji lecturer、Wataru Kakegawa lecturer of papersNeuron (January issue of 2012).。In the results of the close collaboration with the University of Tsukuba KimuTamotsuken、Unoki kun had come to Keio from KimuTamotsuken (graduate student)、3 people of Mazda Kakegawa lecturer is the first author。

Long-term suppression phenomenon (LTD) has been studied in depth so far as a basis the process of memory and learning。When the activity of nerve cells is increased a certain period of time、The AMPA receptor present on the postsynaptic membrane is incorporated into cells (endocytosis) of、It is believed to be the substance of the LTD。In this study、Endocytosis of the AMPA receptor was elucidated for the first time that it is controlled by the synthesis of lipids in the postsynaptic membrane。

Unoki we are a degree in this paper、He was awarded the "Best Paper Award" at the University of Tsukuba。

Assistant Professor is、In PhDs、1) sugar chain science、Or 2) Neurobiology (electrophysiology to cell biology)、Those with either or both the background of。Has its own theme in consultation will be asked to autonomously carry out research。

Researcher is、1) I have mastered the basic techniques, such as molecular biology and cell culture、かつ２）マウスを扱ったことがあるもの。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。
