Assistant Lecturer
Makoto Nakanishi
 
				Profile
| Specialized Field | Neurobiology, Electrophysiology, Neuropharmacology | 
|---|---|
| Research theme | Regulatory mechanism of thalamocortical neural circuits in the auditory cortex by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors | 
| research content | Sensory information such as sound is processed and recognized in the cerebral cortex, and this function is carried out by a neural circuit network. The auditory cortex is responsible for recognizing sound information, and the primary auditory cortex in particular is known as an early information processing system, forming a complex neural circuit. | 
| Subjects in charge | Biology experiments, chemistry experiments, basic science experiments | 
| Main career, work history, and academic background | 2014 Graduated from the Department of Bioinformatics and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Soka University | 
| Affiliated academic societies and organizations | Japan Neuroscience Society | 
| Main Papers and Publications | Nakanishi, M., Nemoto, M., Kawai, H. D. (2022) Cortical nicotinic enhancement of tone-evoked heightened activities and subcortical nicotinic enlargement of activated areas in mouse auditory cortex. Neurosci. Res., S0168-0102(22)00108-0. doi: 10.1016/j.neures.2022.04.001. |
