| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ), neurogenesis occurs throughout life. We identified small number of mature neurons in the SVZ and named them SVZ-Ns (Neurons). In this study, we characterized and analyzed SVZ-Ns from the morphological aspects. SVZ-Ns were similar to neurons of the striatum residing next to the SVZ in expression pattern of marker proteins. But, the SVZ-Ns had characteristic morphology. The SVZ-Ns were mainly generated at embryonic day 13 and postnatal day 1. Moreover, some of the SVZ-Ns could be eliminated during postnatal period. FlouoroJade C staining is widely used to specifically detect degenerating neurons. During analysis of degeneration of SVZ-Ns, we established a new protocol of double staining of Fluoro-Jade C and immunostaining. This is an unexpected effect of this research project.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、新規のニューロン群であるSVZ-Nを発見し、その形態学的解析から、成体ニューロン新生との関連を明らかにしたことにある。成体ニューロン新生は、脳の活動状態に左右され、特に神経伝達物質による調節機構が注目されている。本研究から、SVZ-Nが、成体ニューロン新生に深く関与する可能性を示唆している。本研究は、成体ニューロン新生の調節メカニズムの研究に、大きく寄与するものと考えられる。
