Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is becoming clear that exercise not only maintains physical activity level but also suppresses chronic diseases and has the effect of promoting neurogenesis in the central nervous system. In addition, it is becoming clear that the function of dopamine in basal ganglia is important for normal movement. It is also considered that there is a diurnal variation in dopamine release. Therefore, we examined whether the dopamine system and circadian rhythm affect neurogenesis, the relationship of spontaneous motor behavior and neurogenesis, and the regulation by circadian rhythm of dopamine. We are analyzing the relationship between spontaneous momentum and neurogenesis using immunostaining. There was also a tendency for dopamine release to have a difference in day and night.
