| Research Abstract |
To understand how cAMP is used to exert various functions in mouse olfactory sensory neurons(OSNs), we generated transgenic mice in which PAC, photo-activated adenylate cyclase, is expressed under the control of the mouse olfactory receptor promoter. PAC was detected throughout OSN including dendrites and axons, allowing local activation of PAC. We are currently analyzing the function of cAMP in neural circuit formation by regulating PAC activity using light.
