| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research project aims at elucidating the structure and function of neural networks related to the primate basal ganglia by establishing cutting-edge systems for neural network analyses with a variety of viral vectors. In the following three issues, the research plans set beforehand have successfully been progressed, and interesting outcomes concerning each issue have been achieved: (1) functional mapping of the striatum based on the patterns of multisynaptic outputs to the frontal lobe with high-efficiency multi-colored rabies viral vectors and of corticostriatal inputs, (2) input-output analyses of thalamic and nigral neurons projecting to a given region of the striatum, and (3) functional intervention in pathways linking the thalamus, nigra, and frontal lobe to a given region of the striatum.
