| Research Abstract |
We reported better performance of right hippocampus than left in spatial memory task in mice. Next, we found that ipsilateral/ contralateral ratios of CA3-CA1 axonal innervations are dependent on the locations (i.e. layer in CA1) of the synapse (submitted). We are now analyzing left-right differences of hippocampal electrophysiological activities in vivo.
