| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
5-7weeks old AVP-ChR2-eGFP transgenic rats were given 2% (w/v) salt solution for 5 days. Dissociation of SON neurons from transgenic rats and electrophysiological experiments (whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from isolated SON neurons) were performed.
SON neurons isolated from salt loaded transgenic rats were used for whole-cell patch clamp recordings. In voltage clamp condition, blue light induced sustained inward currents during light-on and inward currents reduced during light-off. These suggested that ChR2 in slice function normally as cell isolation. It was clarified that the inward currents during light-on changed as the fixed membrane potential and the membrane potentials and the inward currents were in a proportional relationship.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
スライスの状態でも細胞単離と同様にAVPニューロン中のChR2が正常に機能していることが示された。これはこの実験系でスライスと細胞単離が同一の結果を示せるかどうかという電気生理学的研究での懸念事項を解消した。また固定膜電位が変化することにより青色光照射中のinward currentも変化すること、固定膜電位とinward currentは比例関係にあることが確認でき、我々が作成したラットはヒトの生理的な興奮状態に近い現象をを再現できるとことが広く知られた。
