Overview

Tadao Serikawa is affiliated with Kyoto University in Japan. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these broader fields, Serikawa has contributed extensively to cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, nutrition and dietetics, neurology, and immunology.

Their work encompasses several main topics, including neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, biochemical analysis and sensing techniques, receptor mechanisms and signaling, ion channel regulation and function, neuroscience and neural engineering, hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics, as well as vestibular and auditory disorders.

Serikawa's recent publications cover a range of subjects related to epilepsy, genetic mutations, neurotransmission, and immunodeficiency. Key papers include:

  • Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule like-1 (DSCAML1) links the GABA system and seizure susceptibility, 2020, Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • PHF24 is expressed in the inhibitory interneurons in rats, 2020, EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS
  • Imbalance of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission in audiogenic seizure-susceptible Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (Lgi1)-mutant rats, 2023, Heliyon
  • Characterization of novel, severely immunodeficient Prkdc mice, 2023, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
  • The rat Downunder (Du) coat color mutation is associated with eye anomalies and embryonic lethality and maps to a 3.9-Mb region on chromosome 3, 2022, EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS

Serikawa frequently collaborates with other researchers. Notable coauthors include Yukihiro Ohno, Tomoji Mashimo, Takashi Kuramoto, Miyuu Tanaka, and Mitsuru Kuwamura.

Serikawa's work has appeared in various publication venues, highlighting active participation in conferences and journals such as the Proceedings for Annual Meeting of The Japanese Pharmacological Society, EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS, Acta Neuropathologica Communications, Heliyon, and Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications.
