Review of Gross Anatomy

of Anatomy ( Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy )

Our department’s research activities have focused on neuroanatomy and gross anatomy. In neuroanatomical research, the development and organization of neuronal networks are investigated to elucidate brain function and diseases by means of immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, in-situ hybridization histochemistry, singlecell tracer injection, and patch-clamp electrophysiology. Our primary int...
