Outline of Final Research Achievements

The development of mammalian dopamine neurons requires long periods of time and its regulation remains to be fully elucidated. In this research, we explored the postnatal mechanisms of the dopaminergic development, distinguishing external and internal regulatory factors. Cell autonomous firing of dopamine neurons tended to elevate until the pubertal stage, especially in its burst property. In parallel, there were alterations in gene expression of ion channels as well as in its sensitivity to serotonin. In addition, the firing rates were influenced by the external components of neurotrophic factors such as GDNF. However, there was a controversy between the firing/ bursting rates and terminal dopamine releases in the GDNF overexpression. These observations suggest that both internal and external factors play crucial roles in postnatal dopaminergic development, but local regulation of dopamine release should be considered additionally in its functioning.
