Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Extracellular concentrations of monoamines were investigated in the striatum, hippocampus, primary cortex and hindlimb region using microdialysis technique. We confirmed serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine levels on those region of rat brain in daily living. Rats underwent photochemical infarction, and monoamine levels were investigated in the hippocampus during treadmill running on 3 days, 1 week and 2 weeks after infarction. Serotonin and norepinephrine levels increased remarkably during treadmill running on 2 weeks after infarction. Future study has to determine another region concerning functional recovery, and investigate repeatedly.
