60th Anniversary of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry

Abstract

To welcome the 60th anniversary of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry (JSN), in this issue, we publish five articles from leading groups of the JSN in the Journal of Neurochemistry. These five reviews are regarding molecular base-investigation of neuronal regulation, and the research styles and its destination are exhibiting the characteristics that identify our society. Here, we introduce what we have archived in the neurochemical fields of research, including Ca neurobiology, synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis and neuroregeneration. With the achievements in the past decades in mind, we will continue to contribute to the development of neurochemistry from now on too. This article is part of the mini review series "60th Anniversary of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry".
