Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to understand the emergent mechanism of "individuality" that guarantees the diversity of human behavior. In this project, we aim to develop measurement and evaluation techniques for brain circuit functions using experimental animals (mice and rats). The emergence of "individuality" depends on the function of large-scale, complex neural circuits consisting of many neurons and glial cells. To date, measurement methods of such neural circuit function is limited. In addition, the differences in the neural circuit functions responsible for the "individuality" are too small to detect and are easily hidden in the variability. Here, we have created a measurement technique using membrane voltage measurement with voltage-sensitive dyes to precisely capture the dynamics of large-scale neural circuit function.
