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...

Seminars on neural basis for emotion and the basal ganglia circuit
Dear All,
Neural Computation Unit (Doya Unit) would like to invite you to two seminars on neural basis for emotion and the basal ganglia circuit as follows. ------------------- Date: Monday, April 14, 2014 Time: 14:45-16:15 Venue: OIST Center Bldg. Seminar room B250 -------------------- Speaker: Prof. Kenji Doya 14:45-15:30 Title: How to cope with delayed rewards
Abstract: In our life, reward or punishment often comes after an uncertain delay. After seeing and trying many things, how can we tell what caused a good or bad result? This is a classic case of “temporal credit assignment” or delayed reward problem. The theory of reinforcement learning prescribes a number of strategies to cope with this problem: 1) look back...
