Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neuronal population shows highly synchronized spontaneous activity during development. This spontaneous activity is thought to contribute to the maturation of neural circuits, axonal elongation, synapse formation and elimination. In addition, it is suggested that astrocytes contribute to In this study, the regulatory mechanism of spontaneous activity of hippocampal circuits during development was examined focusing on the functional role of astrocytes.
