Outline of Final Research Achievements	To smoothly manage our research group (Neural representation of "Death", Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas-B), we conducted activities as the coordinating team and held two closed conferences (Kumamoto in 2021 and Narita in 2022) for intensive discussions. Additionally, at the 2023 annual meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society, we organized a symposium for this specific field and presented our research achievements.
