Advanced Microscopy in Neuroscience

Seminar Title:

Advanced Microscopy in Neuroscience

Date and Time:

Feb.7, 2025, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM (JST)

Speaker:

• Deepak P. Srivastava PhD,ScD (Professor at King's College London)
• Haruki Takeuchi PhD(Professor at the University of Tokyo)

Overview:

Part1. Illuminating the synapse: Using advanced imaging to understand the actions of estrogens on cortical neurons: present by Dr. Srivastava

In this presentation, I will discuss our research on how estrogens influence excitatory synaptic structures and the trafficking of synaptic proteins. I will highlight how live-cell imaging and super-resolution techniques have been instrumental in uncovering the mechanisms underlying estrogenic actions at synapses.

Part 2. Activity-Dependent Mechanisms in Olfactory Neural Circuit Development: present by Dr. Takeuchi

In the mammalian brain, neural circuits emerge through the interplay of genetic programming and activity-dependent processes. During the development of the mouse olfactory neural circuit, the olfactory receptors responsible for the reception of odor molecules regulate axonal segregation in an activity-dependent manner, but the detailed mechanism by which electrical neuronal activity causes structural changes in the olfactory neural circuit has not been fully elucidated. In this seminar, I will discuss recent progress in our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying activity-dependent neuronal circuit formation.
