An Interview with Naoki Kasuga
No full textProfessor Naoki Kasuga is the editor of the Anthropology as critique of reality. He has worked at Hitotsubashi University since 2010, when he moved from a position at Osaka University. In many ways Kasuga is a unique figure in Japanese anthropology. He is the author of a series of experimental and highly divergent works, and he was one of the translators of Writing culture into Japanese. This interview weaves together a discussion of Kasuga's own trajectory with a story of some broader transformations in Japanese anthropology that have lead to current explorations of ontology
Unexpected Cerebral Hyperperfusion after Transient Hypoperfusion Associated with Stroke-like Migraine Attacks after Radiation Therapy Syndrome
No full textIRIZATO Naoki, HASHIMOTO Hiroaki, CHIBA Yasuyoshi. Unexpected Cerebral Hyperperfusion after Transient Hypoperfusion Associated with Stroke-like Migraine Attacks after Radiation Therapy Syndrome. NMC Case Report Journal 11, 135 (2024); https://doi.org/10.2176/jns-nmc.2024-0037.Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome, a delayed sequela of cranial radiotherapy encountered rarely, occurs due to transient neurological deficits coupled with migraine episodes. This case report describes an occurrence of SMART syndrome in an individual 8 years after receiving medulloblastoma treatment. The subject, a 21-year-old male, experienced abrupt aphasia and right-sided hemiparesis. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) revealed initial cerebral hypoperfusion in the left temporal and parietal regions, with no tumor resurgence or notable ischemic alterations. Two days later, the symptoms disappeared completely; nevertheless, at that time, ASL presented cerebral hyperperfusion in the same lobule. The subject experienced a pulsating headache and nausea the next day. In the context of SMART syndrome, this fluctuation in cerebral blood flow indicated by ASL is a unique finding. The significance of this case lies in the documentation of the dynamic evolution of cerebral perfusion in SMART syndrome via ASL, thereby elucidating its underlying pathophysiology. As hemiplegic migraine shows a similar cerebral perfusion pattern to SMART syndrome, we inferred an unexplored but shared pathophysiology among hemiplegic migraine and SMART syndrome. Through this successful capture of these distinct cerebral blood flow alterations, from hypoperfusion to hyperperfusion, our understanding of the pathophysiological intricacies inherent to SMART syndrome will be enhanced

Principal component analysis of odor coding at the level of third-order olfactory neurons in Drosophila
No full textOlfactory information in Drosophila is conveyed by projection neurons from olfactory sensory neurons to Kenyon cells (KCs) in the mushroom body (MB). A subset of KCs responds to a given odor molecule, and the combination of these KCs represents a part of the neuronal olfactory code. KCs are also thought to function as coincidence detectors for memory formation, associating odor information with a coincident punishment or reward stimulus. Associative conditioning has been shown to modify KC output. This plasticity occurs in the vertical lobes of MBs containing /' branches of KCs, which is shown by measuring the average Ca2+ levels in the branch of each lobe. We devised a method to quantitatively describe the population activity patterns recorded from axons of >1000 KCs at the /' branches using two-photon Ca2+ imaging. Principal component analysis of the population activity patterns clearly differentiated the responses to distinct odors.Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japa

New Evidence on Initial Transition from Career Job to Retirement in Japan
No full textThe interval in time between leaving a career job and exit from the labor force is especially long for Japanese employees and separation from the career job often takes place due to mandatory retirement in Japan. Using micro-level data compiled by the Japanese Government, we examine determinants of post-career work arrangements from two perspectives: work status and the route to a second job. We show that these determinants differ between male and female workers and that the customary function of career employers to place their workers in a second job has declined since the middle of the 1990s.mandatory retirement, postretirement arrangements, labor supply of the elderly, Japan
A FUNÇÃO DA ESCRITA PARA O AUTISTA NAOKI HIGASHIDA
No full textThe present article starts a study that sought to understand a function of the writing for the author Naoki Higashida from his book "What makes me jump". The hypothesis raised for a writing makes possible a treatment of the voice and a stability of the signs, attending to the anxieties of the autism immutability. Starting from a psychoanalytic look on the voice and the autistic subjects, they were studied as supports of authors related to the subject, emphasizing as the supports of Higashida in its singularity in its relation with the writing. It was possible to conclude that the voice, as object, is something extracted by the autistic in its constitution, that is, the autist retains its voice. Higashida\u27s writing favors the sending of data to the outside world, since the work can be done, as well as the polysemy and the direct addressing of the voice to the other, not having the marked presence of this one. The continuity is once, the support by means of the double, the writing facilitates the communication with the letters, the indices and symbols, the access to the criteria of immobility sought by the author, besides enabling the connection and the social insertion.O presente artigo parte de um estudo que buscou compreender a função da escrita para o autista Naoki Higashida a partir do seu livro “O que me faz pular”. Diante da dificuldade que a voz falada apresenta para o autor, a hipótese levantada foi que a escrita viabiliza um tratamento da voz e a estabilidade dos signos, atendendo aos anseios de imutabilidade do autista. Partindo de um olhar psicanalítico sobre a voz e os sujeitos autistas, foram estudadas as contribuições de diversos autores relacionados ao tema, ressaltando as contribuições de Higashida em sua singularidade na sua relação com a escrita. Foi possível concluir que a voz, enquanto objeto a, não é algo extraído pelo autista em sua constituição, não favorecendo o endereçamento da voz ao outro, a partir da entrada na linguagem e, assim, o autista retém sua voz. A escrita de Higashida favorece à ele se conectar ao mundo externo, uma vez que possibilita o trabalho com signos, evitando polissemias e endereçamento direto da voz ao Outro, não havendo a presença marcante deste. A hipótese é confirmada uma vez que, sustentada pelo recurso ao duplo, a escrita proporciona tranquilidade ao lidar com letras, números e símbolos, atende aos critérios de imutabilidade buscado pelo autista, além de possibilitar a conexão e inserção social por meio dela
