Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In vivo imaging by using two-photon laser microscopy under deep anesthesia revealed dendritic spine morphology of pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex of transgenic mice expressing GFP under the control of Thy1-promoter. Analysis of heterozygotes of knockout mice deficient in drebrin A-specific exon or all drebrin isoforms tended to show some changes in turnover rate of dendritic spines compared with wild-type mice. The amount of NMDA receptors in synaptosomes were detected by western blotting.
