The lab investigates how the brain develops by looking at how its cells live their lives.
AboutAbout the lab
Asking how the brain develops through the lives of its cells
The Miyata Lab studies “brain development” in the cell biology field of the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine.
The lab's homepage features a video introducing the significance and methods of brain development research.
The news section lists results on the mechanism by which the embryonic cerebral cortical primordium thickens, and on microglia in the embryonic brain.
On the lab's website, it is listed as the “Takaki Miyata Lab.”
Key terms
- Microglia
- A type of cell found in the brain. In this lab, research is under way on their roles in the embryonic brain and on transplanting them into the brain.
- Cerebral cortical primordium
- The tissue that gives rise to the cerebral cortex during the embryonic period. The news section features the mechanism by which it thickens inward.
- Embryonic period
- The period before birth, when the animal develops as an embryo or fetus.

ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies how the brain forms, approaching the question through the lives of its cells. The news section reports results on the mechanism by which the mouse embryonic cerebral cortical primordium thickens inward, and on microglia in the embryonic brain.
