| Research Abstract |
We developed a mathematical model representing the mechanisms of sustainable synaptogenesis, which is the basal mechanism of long-term memory. The model predicted the essential mechanism of long-term memory is to keep the context of the signal transduction controlled by the time intervals of the external stimuli. To evaluate the prediction, we developed a microfluidic device, a control board and a set of software to control electromagnetic valves.
