| Research Abstract |
My purpose is a clarification of functions of the neuregulin, known as responsible gene of the schizophrenia, using live animal.
To analyze roles of neuregulin in sensory organ developments and responses corresponding to exogenous stimuli, I chose lateral line, which is a sensory organ in fish, as a model tissue, and zebrafish as a model animal.
In the result, I identify several novel genes as markers of lateral line, but could not trace a detailed behavior of lateral line developments and its responses.
