Central mechanisms of motor skill learning

O Hikosaka, K Nakamura, K Sakai… - Current opinion in …, 2002 - Elsevier
Recent studies have shown that frontoparietal cortices and interconnecting regions in the
basal ganglia and the cerebellum are related to motor skill learning. We propose that motor …

Parallel neural networks for learning sequential procedures

…, K Sakai, X Lu, K Nakamura, S Miyachi, K Doya - Trends in …, 1999 - cell.com
Recent studies have shown that multiple brain areas contribute to different stages and aspects
of procedural learning. On the basis of a series of studies using a sequence-learning task …

Task set and prefrontal cortex

K Sakai - Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 2008 - annualreviews.org
A task set is a configuration of cognitive processes that is actively maintained for subsequent
task performance. Single-unit and brain-imaging studies have identified the neural …

Coral bleaching: the winners and the losers

Y Loya, K Sakai, K Yamazato, Y Nakano… - Ecology …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Sea surface temperatures were warmer throughout 1998 at Sesoko Island, Japan, than in

Neural organization for the long-term memory of paired associates

K Sakai, Y Miyashita - Nature, 1991 - nature.com
MOST of our long-term memories of episodes or objects are organized so that we can retrieve
them by association. Clinical neuropsychologists assess human memory by the paired-…

Search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into three leptons with 719 million produced τ+ τ− pairs

…, K Sakai, Y Sakai, O Schneider, C Schwanda, K Senyo… - Physics Letters B, 2010 - Elsevier
We present a search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into three leptons (electrons or
muons) using 782 fb −1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy …

Purification and characterization of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitors from sour milk

Y Nakamura, N Yamamoto, K Sakai, A Okubo… - Journal of dairy …, 1995 - Elsevier
… Blood pressure increase was inhibited by long-term feeding of the sour milk to the
spontaneously hypertensive SHR strain of rats (K. Wada, personal communication). Angiotensin I-…

…, N Namiki, M Negishi, I Ohta, N Ono, S Saji, K Sakai… - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
The rice species Oryza sativa is considered to be a model plant because of its small genome
size, extensive genetic map, relative ease of transformation and synteny with other cereal …

Protein-bound acrolein: potential markers for oxidative stress

K Uchida, M Kanematsu, K Sakai… - Proceedings of the …, 1998 - National Acad Sciences
Acrolein (CH 2 =CH—CHO) is known as a ubiquitous pollutant in the environment. Here we
show that this notorious aldehyde is not just a pollutant, but also a lipid peroxidation product …
