| Research Abstract |
For the purpose of stable visualizing the neuron and neural synapse, I made some transgenic mouse introduced by (fusion-) fluorescent protein's gene. And the completion of live brain neuron analysis using cre-loxP fluorescent mice and 2-photon microscope is in sight.
Using synapse specific fluorescent mice (made before this grant), I examined a possibility of the atmospheric scanning electron microscope (ASEM). This microscope realized the observation of cultured neuron in dH2O solution by EM. I examined staining condition, and analyzed fine structure of dendrite, spine and growth cone, and continue analysis for dynamic fine structure modification.
