Abstract excerpt
c-Fos is a useful marker gene of neuron activation for neuroscience and physiology research. The mechanism and function of neural networks have been elucidated using c-Fos reporter knock-in (KI) mice, but the small size of the mice makes it difficult to perform surgical procedures on specific brain regions. On the other hand, there is a large amount of accumulated data on behavioral studies using rats. Thus, the...
