| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand how sensory information is processed in the brain, it is important to visualize the neural network processing a particular information. We developed novel transgenic mice and tried to visualize neural connections. Modified DNA recombinase Cre molecules are transmitted to neighboring neurons through synaptic connections. We tested if the transsynaptic Cre molecules could induce DNA recombination in neurons neighboring to the target cells, resulting in fluorescent protein expression in these neurons.
