Inferotemporal cortex and object vision

K Tanaka - Annual review of neuroscience, 1996 - annualreviews.org
Cells in area TE of the inferotemporal cortex of the monkey brain selectively respond to various
moderately complex object features, and those that cluster in a columnar region that runs …

Neuronal mechanisms of object recognition

K Tanaka - Science, 1993 - science.org
Recognition of objects from their visual images is a key function of the primate brain. This

The selective autophagy substrate p62 activates the stress responsive transcription factor Nrf2 through inactivation of Keap1

…, T Ueno, E Kominami, H Motohashi, K Tanaka… - Nature cell …, 2010 - nature.com
Impaired selective turnover of p62 by autophagy causes severe liver injury accompanied by
the formation of p62-positive inclusions and upregulation of detoxifying enzymes. These …

[HTML][HTML] Homeostatic levels of p62 control cytoplasmic inclusion body formation in autophagy-deficient mice

…, Z Yue, Y Uchiyama, E Kominami, K Tanaka - Cell, 2007 - cell.com
Inactivation of constitutive autophagy results in formation of cytoplasmic protein inclusions
