Title : “ fosB -null mice display impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis and spontaneous epilepsy with depressive behavior ”

Abstract :

Patients with epilepsy are at high risk for major depression relative to the general population, and both disorders are associated with changes in adult hippocampal neurogenesis, although the mechanisms underlying disease onset remain unknown. The expression of fosB , an immediate early gene encoding FosB and DFosB/D2DFosB by alternative splicing and translation initiation, is known to be induced in neural progenitor cells within the subventricular zone...

Title: Multi-Purpose CMOS Cameras for Electron and X-Ray detection; Sensitivity, Resolution, Dynamic Range, Speed.

Abstract: The development of digital cameras, which are applicable for a wide HV range, and which satisfy all criteria: including large detection area, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, spatial resolution, dynamic range and fast read out, is a challenge. TVIPS has designed CMOS based cameras with active pixel sensors. The cameras fulfil...

Title : “Analysis of the function of miR-124 during medaka neural development ”

Abstract :

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise a group of small noncoding RNA molecules (about 22 nucleotides) thought to have contributed to the evolution of vertebrate brain homogeneity as well as diversity. The miRNA miR-124 is well conserved between invertebrates and vertebrates and is expressed abundantly in the central nervous system (CNS).

For my doctoral dissertation, I studied the function of miR-124 in Oryzias latipes (medaka). In this research, I collaborated with Dr. Rie Kusakabe and Prof. Dr. Kunio Inoue of Kobe University, Japan. We identified five candidate genes for medaka miR-124. The five genes are unlinked on four different chromosomes...
