Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I revealed that the effect of awakening is mediated mainly through the activation of GABAergic neurons, which modifies the visual responses of excitatory neurons. Also I developed the new method of GABAergic neuron activity in 3D space. Then I revealed that GABAergic interneurons form clusters to make their inhibitory function.
