Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a micro-imaging probe for functional brain imaging
Makoto Osanai,Taro Suzuki,Atsushi Tamura,Tsugio Yonemura,Issei Mori,Yuchio Yanagawa,Hiromu Yawo,Hajime Mushiake +7 more
TL;DR: The prototype of the micro-imaging probe is fabricated in combination with a gradient index lens and image fiber and an optimal optical configuration is found for maximizing the efficiency of the imaging probe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative activation-induced manganese-enhanced MRI reveals severity of Parkinson’s disease in mice
Satomi Kikuta,Yukiyo Nakamura,Yukio Yamamura,Atsushi Tamura,Noriyasu Homma,Yuchio Yanagawa,Hajime Tamura,Jiro Kasahara,Makoto Osanai +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activation-induced manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging with quantitative determination of the longitudinal relaxation time (qAIM-MRI) reveals the severity of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Both Neurons and Astrocytes Exhibited Tetrodotoxin-Resistant Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor-Dependent Spontaneous Slow Ca2+ Oscillations in Striatum
TL;DR: The mGluR5-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate signal cascade is the primary contributor to the slow Ca2+ oscillation in both putative-neurons and astrocytes, which may involve in the neuron-glia interaction in the striatum.
Book ChapterDOI
Multimodal Functional Analysis Platform: 1. Ultrathin Fluorescence Endoscope Imaging System Enables Flexible Functional Brain Imaging.
Makoto Osanai,Hideki Miwa,Atsushi Tamura,Satomi Kikuta,Yoshio Iguchi,Yuchio Yanagawa,Kazuto Kobayashi,Norihiro Katayama,Tetsu Tanaka,Hajime Mushiake +9 more
TL;DR: An ultrathin fluorescence endoscope imaging system that can image cells in the brain at any depth while minimizing the invasion and perform imaging and optical stimulation simultaneously is developed and successfully visualized neurons expressing GFP with single-cell resolution.
