| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neurons are distinguished by morphologies typical of their subtypes. To unravel molecular mechanisms to control the subtype-specific morphologies, we have developed the gene expression system in which a gene of interest is specifically induced in postmitotic neurons in vivo. We have also found that Nepro, which is necessary for the maintenance of neural progenitors in the early forebrain, is localized in the nucleolus in the developing embryo.
