| Research Abstract |
Auditory specific mechanism of neuronetwork is searched for through visualization of synapse formation in inferior colliculus with pre-and-post synaptic element by tracer technique and synapse-specific proteins, vesicular glutaminase transporters. Sindbis virus vector mediated GFP induction as a trial for presynaptic labeling revealed remarkable projection from auditory neocortex into nucleus brachium of inferior colliculus and dorsal or external cortex of inferior colliculus with notable pattern, which is now mathematically analized
