Journal ArticleDOI
Three Types of Neurochemical Projection from the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis to the Ventral Tegmental Area in Adult Mice
Takehiro Kudo,Motokazu Uchigashima,Taisuke Miyazaki,Kohtarou Konno,Miwako Yamasaki,Yuchio Yanagawa,Masabumi Minami,Masahiko Watanabe +7 more
TL;DR: The major mode of the BST–VTA projection is GABAergic, and its activation is predicted to disinhibit VTA DAergic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transsynaptic Modulation of Kainate Receptor Functions by C1q-like Proteins
Keiko Matsuda,Timotheus Budisantoso,Nikolaos Mitakidis,Yuki Sugaya,Eriko Miura,Wataru Kakegawa,Miwako Yamasaki,Kohtarou Konno,Motokazu Uchigashima,Manabu Abe,Izumi Watanabe,Masanobu Kano,Masahiko Watanabe,Kenji Sakimura,A. Radu Aricescu,Michisuke Yuzaki +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that C1q-like proteins C1QL2 and C1ql3, produced by MFs, serve as extracellular organizers to recruit functional postsynaptic KAR complexes to the CA3 pyramidal neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytochemical and cytological properties of perineuronal oligodendrocytes in the mouse cortex
Chihiro Takasaki,Miwako Yamasaki,Motokazu Uchigashima,Kohtarou Konno,Yuchio Yanagawa,Masahiko Watanabe +5 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, perineuronal oligodendrocytes attached more to glutamatergic principal neurons than to GABAergic interneurons, and this became evident at postnatal day 14, when the cerebral cortex develops and maturates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enriched Expression of GluD1 in Higher Brain Regions and Its Involvement in Parallel Fiber–Interneuron Synapse Formation in the Cerebellum
Kohtarou Konno,Keiko Matsuda,Chihiro Nakamoto,Motokazu Uchigashima,Taisuke Miyazaki,Miwako Yamasaki,Kenji Sakimura,Michisuke Yuzaki,Masahiko Watanabe +8 more
TL;DR: GluD1 works in concert with GluD2 for the construction of cerebellar synaptic wiring through distinct neuronal and synaptic expressions and also their shared synapse-connecting function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autism spectrum disorder-like behavior caused by reduced excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons of mouse prefrontal cortex.
Hiroaki Sacai,Kazuto Sakoori,Kohtarou Konno,Kenichiro Nagahama,Honoka Suzuki,Takaki Watanabe,Masahiko Watanabe,Naofumi Uesaka,Naofumi Uesaka,Masanobu Kano +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that reduced excitatory synaptic transmission in layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of the PFC leads to impaired social interaction and mild vocalization abnormality in mice.
