Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Investigation of Nav1.2 distribution on Scn1a-GFP transgenic mouse revealed that in neocortex Nav1.2 is expressed in cortico-striatal, cortico-thalamic and cortico-cortical projection neurons, while Nav1.1 is expressed in pyramidal tract projections. Conditional eliminations of Scn2a in mPFC (medial prefrontal cortex) and VTA (ventral tegmental area) regions revealed that the elimination in mPFC decreased PPI (prepulse inhibition) while that in VTA accelerates PPI. These results indicate that eliminations in these regions have opposite effects for schzophrenia-related social behaviors.
