Higuchi M, Shinoda Y, Hasegawa T, Ishibashi M, Yamada N, Chiba Y, et al.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol . 2020 Sep; 43(11):1351-1357. PMID: 32969504
Background: Achieving a favorable pacing threshold with a Micra transcatheter pacing system (Micra-TPS) is needed to reduce battery depletion. In some cases, the threshold increases shortly after the device is...

Hagihara H, Murano T, Ohira K, Miwa M, Nakamura K, Miyakawa T
Mol Brain . 2019 Dec; 12(1):108. PMID: 31823803
It is agreed upon that adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) occurs in the dentate gyrus (DG) in rodents. However, the existence of AHN in humans, particularly in elderly individuals, remains to...

Ohira K
Neural Regen Res . 2019 Oct; 15(3):390-393. PMID: 31571646
The catecholamine, dopamine, plays an important role in the central nervous system of mammals, including executive functions, motor control, motivation, arousal, reinforcement, and reward. Dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system lead...
