| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we aimed to develop optogenetic tools to selectively activate a specific pathway of biochemical signaling in synapses. These tools enable us to identify the essential pathways and signaling molecules required for the induction of long-term potentiation. We especially focused on developing a new imaging probe that can be used in combination of light sensitive proteins. As a result of our research, we successfully developed a new probe optimized for 2-photon Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (2pFLIM) based Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET).
