The lab investigates how neural circuits in the cerebellum form.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how cerebellar circuits develop
The Miyazaki Lab studies how neural circuits of the cerebellum develop, from the standpoint of neuroanatomy.
Neuroanatomy is a field that analyzes the shapes of cells and where molecules are located within cells.
The cerebellum, the subject of the research, is a brain region known to be involved in motor learning and in coordinating body movements.
Associate Professor Miyazaki teaches anatomy in the Department of Health Sciences.
Key terms
- Purkinje cell
- A large neuron in the cerebellum that receives many inputs through its branched dendrites
- Climbing fiber
- A nerve fiber that enters from outside the cerebellum and wraps around Purkinje cells to form connections
- Glial cell
- A cell in the brain that supports neurons and helps them function
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's theme is clarifying how the circuits of excitatory and inhibitory inputs in the cerebellum develop. It uses neuroanatomical methods that examine the shapes of cells and the locations of molecules.
