| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Jellyfish have primitive nervous systems, but the mechanisms underlying their behavior are poorly understood. I combine transcriptomics, behavioral and anatomical analyses to find peptides regulating feeding in the a jellyfish. Such peptides will be tested for functional conservation in Drosophila.
|
| 研究実績の概要 |
I have pursued the goals summarized in my previous report (Strategy for Future Research Activity). Specifically, I have: (1) Characterized the behavioral effects of satiety on the feeding behavior of the jellyfish Cladonema, as well as their temporal dynamics and tissue specificity; (2) Characterized the effects of a putative satiety peptide and carried out immunohistochemistry to determine its expression and (3) Expanded the set of candidate peptides using proteomics. Additionally, I have begun looking into the effects of satiety on other jellyfish behaviors, such as locomotion.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
While there have been technical setbacks for some experiments, there is good progress in most, and I am currently drafting a manuscript focusing on a detailed characterization of satiety in jellyfish.
|
| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
As some experiments have been concluded while others are still ongoing (with promising outcomes), I will focus my efforts towards wrapping up all experiments and the publication of the new results.
