Research Abstract |
I started to develop the new methods to approach the molecular or cellular mechanisms underlying memory formation, storage, retrieval in this study. I tried to identify new factors related to learning and memory by proteomics analysis and then, I planed to determine the cells in which they would function. But I failed to establish the methods to concentrate the synapse-specific proteins. So I changed my approach into identify the cells recruited into memory traces. I generated CREB activity reporter flies and succeeded in labeling the cells in response to long-term memory formation.
