Research content

In this laboratory, researches about the excitable organs (sensory organs, nervous system, motor organs) have been done. From the standpoint of neuroscience, synapse was analyzed in the relation to the overall structure of the related neuron in microscopic level. We analyzed the dendro-architecture of CA3 pyramidal neurons using intracellular HRP injection and the synapto-architecture using a large montage electron micrograph.
