| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
"Sociality" is an important brain function to human beings as well as cognitive function, and it is pointed out that exposure to environmental risk factors such as chemical exposures may harm it. In animal experiments, we have revealed that perinatal exposure to dioxin causes social behavioral abnormality, accompanied with brain activity abnormalities in social stress situation. In this research, we succeeded in developing and practicing the analysis index of new mouse social behaviors focusing on social stress, as well as its data analysis algorithm, using the image analysis system.
