Yano S, Asami N, Kishi Y, Takeda I, Kubotani H, Hattori Y, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2025 Jan; 28(3):487-498. PMID: 39825140
Microglia-resident immune cells in the central nervous system-undergo morphological and functional changes in response to signals from the local environment and mature into various homeostatic states. However, niche signals underlying...

Oshima K, Yoshinaga S, Kitazawa A, Hirota Y, Nakajima K, Kubo K
J Neurosci . 2023 Jan; 43(5):693-708. PMID: 36631266
The claustrum (CLA) is a cluster of neurons located between the insular cortex and striatum. Many studies have shown that the CLA plays an important role in higher brain function....

Yoshinaga S, Shin M, Kitazawa A, Ishii K, Tanuma M, Kasai A, et al.
iScience . 2021 Apr; 24(4):102277. PMID: 33851097
In the mammalian cerebral neocortex, different regions have different cytoarchitecture, neuronal birthdates, and functions. In most regions, neuronal migratory profiles are speculated similar based on observations using thymidine analogs. Few...

Shin M, Kitazawa A, Yoshinaga S, Hayashi K, Hirata Y, Dehay C, et al.
J Comp Neurol . 2019 Jan; 527(10):1577-1597. PMID: 30636008
During development of the mammalian cerebral neocortex, postmitotic excitatory neurons migrate toward the outermost region of the neocortex. We previously reported that this outermost region is composed of densely packed...

Kubo K, Deguchi K, Nagai T, Ito Y, Yoshida K, Endo T, et al.
JCI Insight . 2017 May; 2(10). PMID: 28515367
Many extremely preterm infants (born before 28 gestational weeks [GWs]) develop cognitive impairment in later life, although the underlying pathogenesis is not yet completely understood. Our examinations of the developing...

Hayashi K, Kubo K, Kitazawa A, Nakajima K
Front Neurosci . 2015 May; 9:135. PMID: 25964735
A fine structure of the hippocampus is required for proper functions, and disruption of this formation by neuronal migration defects during development may play a role in some psychiatric illnesses....

Nakamura M, Kamishibahara Y, Kitazawa A, Kawaguchi H, Shimizu N
Cytotechnology . 2014 Oct; 68(3):409-17. PMID: 25354731
Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have the ability to differentiate in vitro into various cell lineages including neurons. The differentiation of these cells into...

Kitazawa A, Kubo K, Hayashi K, Matsunaga Y, Ishii K, Nakajima K
J Neurosci . 2014 Jan; 34(4):1115-26. PMID: 24453304
The hippocampus plays important roles in brain functions. Despite the importance of hippocampal functions, recent analyses of neuronal migration have mainly been performed on the cerebral neocortex, and the cellular...

Kitazawa A, Shimizu N
N Biotechnol . 2011 Apr; 28(4):326-33. PMID: 21477670
Mouse induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are known to have the ability to differentiate into various cell lineages including neurons in vitro. We have reported that chick dorsal root ganglion...
