Dendritic spines and synapses are critical for neuronal communication, and they are perturbed in many neurological disorders; however, the study of these structures in living cells has been hindered by their small size.Super resolution microscopy, unlike conventional light microscopy, is diffraction unlimited and thus is well suited for imaging sma

Telmisartan (TEL), a non-peptide blocker of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor, is a widely used antihypertensive agent.Nevertheless, its neuronal ionic effects and how they potentially affect neuronal network excitability remain largely unclear.With the aid of patch-clamp technology, the effects of TEL on membrane ion currents present in hippocamp

Although several types of locomotive microrobots have been developed, most of them have difficulty locomoting on uneven surfaces.Thus, we have been focused on microrobots that can locomote using step patterns.We are studying insect-type microrobot systems.The locomotion of the microrobot is generated by rotational movements of the shape memory allo
