Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By taking advantage of a transgenic system that we have previously developed, we generated transgenic mice expressing ChR2 or hM3Dq DREADD specifically in neurons that were activated during learning. By utilizing the transgenic mice, we artificially reactivated engram cells in the hippocampus and then examined the reactivation of engram cells in different brain areas.
