| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To enable visualization and manipulation of neuronal network activities in zebrafish, we developed transgenic zebrafish expressing probes such as high-performance genetically-encoded fluorescent calcium indicators (improved G-CaMPs). We established an experimental system for quantitative calcium imaging of zebrafish brain region in response to visual stimuli, using transgenic fish expressing an improved green calcium probe G-CaMP and a red fluorescent protein.
