| Research Abstract |
The aim of present study is to investigate the neural network of fear response behavior coursed by the stimulation of fox odor “2,4,5-trimethylth iazoline (TMT)”. In order to clarify the functional domain of freezing behavior in the brain, we first identified the ORs (olfactory receptors) specifically activated by TMT and making the knock-out and knock-in mouse for the deletion and activation of olfactory neurons using these ORs. We also established the assay system analyzing the neural activity and behavior using unanesthetized mouse.
