| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Prostaglandin D2 receptor, CRTH2, has well studied in the field of peripheral inflammation. Recently, it has revealed that CRTH2 functions in the emotional and cognitive impairments. In this study, it was shown that CRTH2 signaling in the local brain area could regulate the local neural function, and that CRTH2 signaling alternates local neural function related to the cognitive dysfunction, by using pathological animal models. These findings would contribute to understand the detailed role of CRTH2 in emotional and cognitive dysfunctions in pathological states.
