| Research Abstract |
During brain development, immature redundant neural circuitry is refined into functionally mature versions through the process known as “synapse elimination”. However, how synapse elimination proceeds is largely unknown. In this study, we have developed the method for multi-color labeling of cells and synapses by various fluorescent proteins like green fluorescent protein(GFP), and real-time imaging of these cells and synapses.
