He is currently working on research relating to the connectivity between pre- and postsynaptic neurons. Dr. Nishiyama uses the cerebellum as a primary model system and a combination of scientific techniques and software to try and answer the questions he discussed in his seminar presentation. To begin his seminar‚ Dr. Nishiyama explained that the synaptic connections between neurons
