| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For understanding the memory mechanism, not only neuron cell networks and their activities but also dynamic molecular systems should be elucidated. However, the latter could not be performed due to the lack of methodology. We have developed a novel approach to clarify the molecular system within an extremely small region (1mm3 of zebrafish brain) by dissecting it into minute masses and orderly arranging them in an MMV microarray, enabling them to be subjected to parallel and multistep analysis. On the other hand, a highly sensitive and parallel detection method was developed by employing the peptide ELISA (ELISA is usually antibody-based detection method) facilitated with an MMV microarray. Five pairs of novel peptides for each of MGMT, Aβ42, p38α, CREB1a and NM23 were identified and implemented to make up pepELISA array. Thus, we have succeeded in building up a novel methodology for the analysis of brain molecular systems, expecting future fruits.
