Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To fully understand the plasticity of neuronal circuit underlying the learning and memory in animals, we need a technique that enables large scale recordings of multiple neuronal activity and/or functional changes of synapses at the same time. For this aim, here I have developed a fluorescent imaging probe for membrane potential that reports neuronal activities in real-time. Voltage imaging enabled to observe spatio-temporal pattern of neuronal circuit and its plastic changes. In addition, combined application of fluorescent imaging technique and sub-cellular patch-clamp method have clarified mechanisms of plasticity at various synapses in the cerebellar circuit.
