| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have characterized several behavioral paradigm focusing on cognitive functions which prefrontal cortex is responsible for by using mouse models developed based on the human genetics data of schizophrenia. Moreover, we have also characterized the developmental processes of mouse prefrontal cortex by using gene expression profiles for several different biological processes taken place during development. These results should help us to establish basis for further characterization of mouse models for schizophrenia in order to understand the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
