| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I investigated two tpopics : 1)whether activity of noradrenergic neurons would change in association with animal behavior, and 2)whether manipulation of noradrenergic neuron activity induce animal behavior.
1)By using the fiber photometry system, I succeeded in recording the activity of noradrenergic neurons from the free-moving-mouse in real time. The neural activity immediately increased after acute nociceptive stimuli.
2)By using optogenetics systems and telemeter systems, I succeeded in recording body temperature and heart rate during manipulating the activity of noradrenergic neurons. My data suggested correlation between activity of noradrenergic neurons and heart rate.
