    Kazushi Kimura
    Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan
    J Histochem Cytochem 51:429-33. 2003
    ..On the other hand, overexpression of syntaxin1A neither promoted nor inhibited neurite outgrowth. Thus, VAMP-2 and SNAP-25A play different roles in neurite elongation and sprouting...
  3. ncbi Neurogenesis in the ependymal layer of the adult rat 3rd ventricle
    Yi Xu
    Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Yoshidakonoe cho, Sakyo ku, Kyoto 606 8501, Japan
    Exp Neurol 192:251-64. 2005
    ..These results indicate that neural progenitor cells exist in the ependymal layer of the adult rat 3rd ventricle and that they may differentiate into neurons functioning in the hypothalamus...
  4. ncbi Isolation of neural stem cells from the forebrain of deceased early postnatal and adult rats with protracted post-mortem intervals
    Yi Xu
    Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Yoshidakonoe cho, Sakyo ku, Kyoto, Japan
    J Neurosci Res 74:533-40. 2003
    ..The neural stem cells from cadavers have great significance in terms of their clinical use as homografts for CNS regeneration...

    Nagatoki Kinoshita
    Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Yoshida konoe cho, Sakyo ku, Kyoto 606 8501, Japan
    Genes Cells 9:1-14. 2004
    ..Thus Sept2 may regulate GLAST-mediated glutamate uptake by astrocytes, which is important for appropriate transmitter signalling in the cerebellum...

    Yasuhiro Tanaka
    Department of Pharmacology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Sakyo ku, Kyoto, Japan
    Eur J Neurosci 30:2338-46. 2009
    ..Therefore, the prostaglandin E(2)-EP1 signaling directly enhances GABAergic inputs to SNc dopaminergic neurons. The lack of this EP1 action may lead to a hyperdopaminergic state of EP1-deficient mice...
