Support Unit for Neuromorphological Analysis
Laboratory Head
Tsutomu HASHIKAWA (Ph.D.)
Support Unit for Neuromorphological Analysis in the BSI Research Resource Center is devoted to offer of qualified surroundings for the morphological analysis of neural tissues, involving maintenance of the facilities such as electron microscope, laser scanning confocal microscope etc., and technical assistance in tissue preparation, microscope operation and data analysis. Construction of neuromorphological data bases (e.g. brain atlases) will also be another aspect of our activities.
- This unit provides highly skilled technical support in microscopic neural tissue analysis being performed in the Brain Science Institute laboratories.
