Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Research was conducted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the function of Reelin and its molecular mechanisms in the expression of higher-order functions in the adult brain, and to develop novel therapies for psychiatric disorders. We found that the C-terminal region of Reelin enhances signaling through a novel receptor, that the Reelin-degrading enzyme ADAMTS-3 regulates oligodendrocyte migration, that ADAMTS-3 inhibition in the postnatal brain ameliorates Alzheimer's disease, and that administration of Reelin to the postnatal cerebellum partially restores behavioral abnormalities.
