| Research Abstract |
How is brain asymmetry generated? What is the meaning of brain asymmetry in higher-order brain functions? To address these fundamental questions, we conducted electrophysiological and behavioral studies using several strains of mutant mice. We found that a protein, known to be important in cellular immunity, was critical for the generation of asymmetrical neuronal circuitry in the brain. The transgenic mice lacking this protein showed deficits in the retention of spatial memory.
