Outline of Final Research Achievements

Biological investigation (such as using animal models) of generating mechanisms of child abuse has not been well performed although this has been treated in a field of social science (psychology and education) and clinical science (psychiatry). In this study, therefore, we examined the role of Usp46 on cellular and nervous system using Usp46 mutant mice which display poor maternal behavior. As a result, we found that the level of maternal care is transmitted to their pups and proper maternal behaviors can be shaped if adequate postpartum maternal care is given, even in genetically vulnerable mice. In addition, it is suggested that Usp46 affects several behavioral phenotypes through GABAergic system.
