Dr Minoru Saitoe, the leader of Learning and Memory Project, is selected for winner of 19th Tokizane Prize, as his research with fruit fly, Drosophila, has elucidated memory-associated genes and their function in neural circuits.
Tokizane Prize is established with a trust fund donated from Mme. Nobu Tokizane for promotion of brain science in Japan. Mme. Tokizane is widow of late Professor (University of Tokyo：1956 to 1970, Kyoto University：1970 to 1973 ) Toshihiko Tokizane(1910~1973), who was one of the prominent pioneer and ａ great promoter of brain science after the world war II in Japan. He tried hard to appeal the necessity of brain research through mass communications in one side, and using the influences in another side to the Ministry of Education officials to establish new brain science laboratories in many universities.
In recognition of his memory and to promote original research in Japan in the area of higher integrative function of the brain, Tokizane Prize started in 1999 and since 2001 it was recognized as an official prize of Japan Neuroscience Society for outstanding meritorious research done by Japanese National with his/her own leadership.
