Functional Development of Neural Circuits

这个项目解决了一个问题，即神经回路是如何形成和功能发展的，从而执行更高的大脑功能。为了阐明大脑中神经回路形成和功能发展的潜在机制，我们在这个项目中采取了多学科的方法。因此，采用不同方法的研究人员之间的密切合作对该项目的成功至关重要。经过项目成员的通力合作，取得了多项优秀成果，并在国际一流期刊上发表。在本财政年度，我们编辑了一份关于它们的成就的报告，其中包括它们的出版物清单。本报告已发送给在相关领域工作的研究人员和该研究项目的成员。

This project addressed a question of how neural circuits are formed and functionally developed so as to execute the higher brain function. To elucidate mechanisms underlying the formation and functional development of neural circuits in the brain, we took multidisciplinary approaches in this project. Thus, a close collaboration among researchers with different methodologies was essential for success of this project. After such a collaboration among members of this research project, we succeeded in obtaining many excellent results which were published in top-rank international journals. In this fiscal year we have edited a report of their achievements including a list of their publications. This report has been sent to researchers who are working in related fields and the members of this research project.
