| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop basic research on psychiatric disorders, we tried to identify “micro-endophenotypes” that are the visualized phenotypes of psychiatric disorders at the molecular, cellular and circuit levels, as an interface between basic and clinical studies, and understand their molecular basis. To do this, we had more than 7 meetings to present and share our findings and employed support activities for scientist in this innovative area by providing with analyses of next generation sequence and epigenome, imaging using two-photon excitation microscopy and STORM/STED, iPS cells derived from patients of psychiatric disorders and so on. We also encouraged young scientists to join basic research fields of psychiatric disorders. Through these activities, we identified candidates of micro-endophenotypes of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, PTSD and depression and furthermore, developed state-of-the-art technologies to identify and analyze micro-endophenotypes.
