Journal ArticleDOI
Specific deficit of the ON response in visual transmission by targeted disruption of the mGluR6 gene
Masayuki Masu,Hideki Iwakabe,Yoshiaki Tagawa,Tomomitsu Miyoshi,Masayuki Yamashita,Yutaka Fukuda,Hitoshi Sasaki,Kano Hiroi,Yasuhisa Nakamura,Ryuichi Shigemoto,Masahiko Takada,Kenji Nakamura,Kazuki Nakao,Motoya Katsuki,Shigetada Nakanishi +14 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that mGluR6 is essential in synaptic transmission to the ON bipolar cell and that the OFF response provides an important means for transmitting visual information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for Activity-Dependent Cortical Wiring: Formation of Interhemispheric Connections in Neonatal Mouse Visual Cortex Requires Projection Neuron Activity
TL;DR: The results suggest that projection neuron activity plays a crucial role in interhemispheric connection development and that enhanced Kir2.1 activity can affect cortical wiring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistological Studies of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtype 6-Deficient Mice Show No Abnormality of Retinal Cell Organization and Ganglion Cell Maturation
TL;DR: In this paper, the selective agonist of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR), l-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (l-AP-4), hyperpolarizes ON bipolar cells and reduces glutamate release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Cortical Axon Elongation by a GABA-Driven Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase Cascade
Natsumi Ageta-Ishihara,Sayaka Takemoto-Kimura,Mio Nonaka,Aki Adachi-Morishima,Kanzo Suzuki,Satoshi Kamijo,Hajime Fujii,Tatsuo Mano,Frank Blaeser,Talal A. Chatila,Hidenobu Mizuno,Tomoo Hirano,Yoshiaki Tagawa,Hiroyuki Okuno,Haruhiko Bito +14 more
TL;DR: A novel role is indicated for the GABA-driven CaMKK–CaMKIα cascade as a mechanism critical for accurate cortical axon pathfinding, an essential process that may contribute to fine-tuning the formation of interhemispheric connectivity during the perinatal development of the CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Spontaneous Ca2+ Transients Is Critical for Neuronal Maturation in the Developing Neocortex
Yuki Bando,Katsumasa Irie,Katsumasa Irie,Takushi Shimomura,Takushi Shimomura,Hiroki Umeshima,Yuki Kushida,Mineko Kengaku,Yoshinori Fujiyoshi,Yoshinori Fujiyoshi,Tomoo Hirano,Yoshiaki Tagawa +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that developmental control of spontaneous calcium transients is critical for maturation of cortical excitatory neurons in vivo: keeping cellular excitability low is important for migration, and increasing spontaneous neural activity may stop migration and promote dendrite formation.
