▼Purpose & Project

研究目的
大脳皮質は、記憶、情動、思考、加えて行動など、全ての中枢神経活動を司る。大脳皮質の神経活動は、二種類の構成要素である興奮性神経細胞と抑制性神経細胞のバランスの上に成り立っていている。抑制性神経細胞の働きは、神経活動のバランスを取るのみではなく、適時その抑制を緩めることに より、興奮性神経細胞の活動を高める。大脳皮質が中枢神経系の頂点にある様に、抑制性神経細胞は興奮性神経細胞の活動を支配し、興奮性神経細胞を支配する抑制性神経細胞は、他の抑制性神経細胞により支配され、全体として階層性支配様式を取っている。本教室では、中枢神経系の頂点に立つ大脳皮質抑制性神経細胞を多角的に理解すべく、分子生物学的、発生学的、形態学的観点から、その多様性と神経活動制御様式の研究を進めている。
