| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have succeeded in obtaining a transcriptional regulatory region that can induce expression in medaka sour taste cells. By using this region, it is expected that the introduction of foreign genes into sour taste cells will be possible in other model fishes such as zebrafish. In addition, the trans-synaptic tracer has revealed the correlation between the conduction pathways of taste information in several species. The obtained findings are complementary to the findings of gustatory conduction pathways that have been shown in other model organisms, and will greatly contribute to the full understanding of gustatory conduction pathways. In addition to the knowledge accumulated through the examination of the conditions in this study, we expect to achieve our goal of observing the response to gustatory stimuli by utilizing tools with greatly improved fluorescence intensity and examining methods to induce the expression of these tools.
