Master
Awarded Bachelor's degree
Our lab investigates the regulatory mechanisms of neuronal activity-dependent gene expression, which are involved in neuronal circuit formation and remodeling, from the physiological, pathological and evolutional points of view, usingin vitroandin vivoimaging, gene expression analyses, and cellular biological techniques such as our original slice culture method.
Dr Yamamoto obtained a PhD in Nakaakira Tsukahara lab of Osaka University by studying neurite outgrowth-promoting factor from heart cell conditioned medium. He then joined Keisuke Toyama lab in Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine. During the period, he pioneered a new organotypic culture method (interface type) with semipermeable membranes (Yamamoto et al.,Science, 1989) and demonstrated that specific neuronal connections are establishedin vitro(Yamamoto et al.,Neuron, 1992). In 1994 he returned to Osaka University as associate professor, and in 2002 joined Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences in Osaka University as a full professor.
His lab has been mainly interested in cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal wiring. They have shown the mechanisms underlying formation of lamina-specific cortical connections using the in vitro approaches (Yamamoto et al.,J Neurosci, 1997;J Neurosci, 2000). They have also demonstrated the role of neuronal activity in cortical circuit formation (Uesaka et al,J Neurosci, 2005, 2007; Yamada et al.,PNAS, 2010) and the molecular mechanisms underlying activity-dependent axon branching by using various techniques of cellular biology, electrophysiology and molecular biology (Ohnami et al.,J Neurosci, 2008; Hayano et al.,PNAS, 2014, Sasaki et al.,Cereb Cortex, 2020).
More recently, they have shown the influence of physiological stimulation on activity-dependent gene expression (Miyasaka and Yamamoto,Frontier Neurosci, 2021), the activity-dependent dynamics of a transcription factor in cortical neurons (Kitagawa et al.,J Neurosci, 2017), the molecular mechanisms of lesion-induced axonal sprouting (Chang et al.,J Neurosci, 2022), and the role of afferent-specific molecules in neocortical cytoarchitecture (Sato et al.,eLife, 2022).
