Reading and manipulating fear memory - towards reconstruction of information processing mechanism for higher brain function
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
The cerebral cortex plays important roles in cognition and behavior, while how its complex neural networks process the information for those functions is still unclear. Towards the deeper understanding of the mechanisms, we focus on the "fear memory" stored in the cerebral cortex, and investigate it via “observation” and “manipulation” of the neural activities with using cutting edge optical tools. We aim to unravel the "minimal building blocks" for fear memory, with suggesting the further medical applications to fear-related mental disorders.

Imaging, Control, and Reconstruction of Cellular Network in Master Circadian Clock
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
Master circadian clock in mammals is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain. The SCN is the multi-oscillator system in which cellular network plays critical roles in expressing robust and coherent circadian rhythms. The present study will carry out to understand the fundamental mechanisms of cellular network in the SCN by utilizing various approaches, such as long-term optical imaging, cell/region-specific optogenetic control, and mathematical modeling. I will establish in-vivo optical imaging from deep region of the brain in behaving animals and analyze causal relationship between the cellular network activities and animal behavior (the final output).

Basic technology development for generation of degron mutants
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
I have developed a new degron technology by applying an auxin-dependent degradation pathway of plants to none-plant cells. By using the auxin-inducible degron (AID) technology, it is now possible to deplete a protein of interest in less than one hour after addition of auxin to culture medium. In this project, I am going to develop methods to generate mammalian degron mutants, in which the expression level of an endogenous protein can be controlled. I am also going to try to improve the AID technology to make it better.

Construction of a self-reproducible artificial cell model by using asymmetric lipid liposomes
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
The asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in the extracellular and intracellular leaflets of natural cell membranes facilitates fundamental cellular functions, including signal transduction and cell division. In this study, I focus on the construction of a self-reproducible artificial cell model, which exhibits the cellular functions of cell fission and intracellular vesicular traffic. The artificial cells will be produced by reconstituting appropriate concentrations of biomolecules into asymmetric lipid liposomes by using various methods. The development of such an artificial cell model will provide new opportunities to identify the elementary reactions involved in various cellular functions and to create minimal cells.

Develop a method to control cell division types for the understanding of cell fate regulation and multi-cellular organization
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
During the development in multi-cellular organisms, cells coordinate symmetric and asymmetric cell division to increase cell number and cell types, respectively. The type of cell division is determined in part by the positioning of the mitotic spindle within the cell. In this study, I will develop a method to control spindle position using optogenetic systems. With this technique, I will manipulate the localization of cortical force generating molecules in a single cell and multi-cellular context, and reveal the principles by which cells control cell division types and daughter cell fate.

De novo design of allosteric proteins: Toward design and control of cellular functions
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
Allosteric proteins perform switch-like regulation of their functions by changing their conformations upon ligand binding or light irradiation. For understanding the allosteric mechanisms, I will design allosteric proteins from scratch using computational methods and biochemical experiments. Furthermore, I aim to establish the rational methods for designing allosteric proteins and create novel functional proteins that contribute to designing and controlling cellular functions.

Spatio-temporally precise control of intracellular signaling molecules in a color-dependent manner
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
Many cellular functions are controlled by the concentration changes of intracelluar signaling molecules. In this study, we try to develop useful optogenetic tools that can control intracellular signaling molecules in a color-dependent manner, which allow us to spatio-temporally control cellular and physiological functions more precisely than ever before. With the tools, we can reproduce and also disturb cellular functions, which may provide a clue to how cellular functions construct living systems.

Regulation and Reconstruction of Blood Vessel Networks by Blood Flow Manipulation
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
Blood vessels display hierarchal network patterns corresponding to the blood volume in a central to peripheral manner. To understand the roles of blood flow in the vascular patterning process, we aim to experimentally manipulate the bloodstream by using an artificial heart pump. Through this manipulation, we aim to elucidate the correlation between blood flow and endothelial cell behavior, as well as simulate the process of vascular patterning. The ultimate goal of this study is to achieve complete control of blood vessel networks through manipulation of blood flow at a single point.

Design and control of tissue morphogenesis
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
How do cells push and pull each other to trigger precise deformations of a tissue when shaping the body? The answer to this central question is essential for understanding the development of animal forms. By combining physical modeling, mechanical and genetic perturbations along with live imaging and Bayesian force-inference, I will identify the underlying physical principles required to regulate morphogenesis. Furthermore, I will develop a method to manipulate deformation and force of a cell group aiming at a constitutive understanding of tissue morphogenesis.

Unraveling Mechanisms of Activity-Dependent Neural Circuit Formation by Manipulating spike trains
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
In mammals, neural circuits are assembled by genetically-determined coarse targeting process and subsequent activity-dependent refinement process. However, it remains unclear how neural activity represented as electrical spike trains contributes to the assembly of neural circuits. In this study, I seek to understand the instructive role for neural activity in neural circuit formation by applying optogenetics.

In vitro human organ generation by reconstituting spatiotemporal control of multilple cellular/tissue interactions
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
We recently showed that the recapitulation of early organogenetic cellular interactions can initiate three-dimensional organ bud morphogenesis in vitro from human pluripotent stem cells. In this project, we will optimize the multiple parameters including biophysical stimuli to precisely reconstitute the complex and fluidic developmental regulation of spatial and temporal changes in inter-cellular and tissue interactions. Finally, we will establish a novel method to grow functional human organ in vitro from stem cells for future industrial and clinical use.

Manipulation and analyses of REM sleep using transgenic mice
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
REM sleep, which is the major source of dreams, is unique to mammals and birds and thus might regulate sophisticated brain functions. Its physiologic roles, however, remain a mystery. Our genetic identification of REM sleep-regulating cells has allowed artificial inhibition of REM sleep in mice. In this study, such mice will be utilized to reveal the functions of REM sleep and dreams. In the future, I aim to elucidate how the global brain activity during sleep or various other conditions affect individual cells or brain areas.

Development of methodological framework to regulate functional brain connectivity
Standard type Period:3yearsSummary
Brain processes information for behavioral guidance. It has been assumed that synchronizing neural activity in brain networks is associated with the efficacy of neural transmission. However, there is no causal evidence that proves the idea. To address this question, the current project aims to develop a methodological framework regulating brain networks and measuring their changes by using non-invasive brain stimulation. I further address the neural mechanisms of adaptive behavior by modulating the functional interactions of brain networks. I hope the method would be applied to the treatment of psychiatric disorders by improving impaired functional connectivity.
