| Research Abstract |
Neural circuits are established by specific neuronal connections via synapses. Therefore, gene manipulation system in a circuit level could be a powerful tool to understand the structural basis of neural computation. In this study, we attempted to make a novel genetically-encoded protein that enables us to trans-synaptically visualize and manipulate a specific neural circuit.
