Functional Development of Neural Circuits

该项目解决了神经回路如何形成和功能发展的问题，以便执行更高的大脑功能。为了阐明大脑神经回路形成和功能发育的机制，我们在这个项目中采取了多学科的方法。因此，具有不同方法的研究人员之间的密切合作对于该项目的成功至关重要。经过本研究项目成员之间的合作，我们成功地获得了许多优秀的成果，并在国际顶级期刊上发表。在本财政年度，我们编辑了一份关于其成就的报告，包括其出版物的清单。本报告已发送给相关领域的研究人员和本研究项目的成员。

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.
