| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the central nervous system, the same number of glial cells as nerve cells exist. These consist of astroglia, oligodendroglia and microglia, each of which is highly differentiated and is responsible for the central nervous system homeostasis. In recent years, glial cell dysfunction as a cause of neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders attracts attention. Glial cells are directly connected to each other by gap junctions composed of connexin proteins to form a huge network. We examined the mechanism of neuropathy-induced connexin abnormalities in autopsy specimens and model animals of patients with neurological disorders.
