Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Basal ganglia circit-specific reversible neurotransmission blocking revealed that the direct pathway of the nucleus accumbens is specifically involved in sign-tracking behavior in the reward/goal-directed behavioral task. In addition, the direct and indirect pathways of the nucleus accumbens regulate circuit-specific gene expression in the medial prefrontal cortex. The mutant DISC1 transgenic mouse model of psychiatric disorders showed molecular pathology specific in the indirect pathway in the nucleus accumbens, indicating a role for basal ganglia in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders.
