9503844 Agmon This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Ariel Agmon of the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the University of California-Irvine and Dr. Yasuo Kawaguchi of the Bio-Mimetic Control Research Center of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN). Project funding will enable Dr. Agmon to spend one year in Japan, resident at RIKEN, in order to study the functional role of different classes of neocortical inhibitory interneurons in the thalamocortical circuit. Dr. Agmon has previously studied the functional and morphological organization of thalamocortical connections in mature and developing animals. Dr. Kawaguchi has been instrumental in shedding light on the rich diversity of morphological and electrophysiological properties of inhibitory interneurons in the cortex. Dr. Agmon will combine his expertise with that of Dr. Kawaguchi to study the functional and morphological organization of inhibition with the thalamocortical circuit. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working in the area of neuronal anatomy and physiology. The U. S. scientist will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques, equipment, and facilities at RIKEN while contributing to the overall research effort. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***

9503844 Agmon该提案支持加利福尼亚大学 - 艾尔文大学解剖学和神经生物学系的Ariel Agmon博士以及物理和化学研究所生物模仿控制研究中心的Yasuo Kawaguchi博士（Riken）（Riken）。项目资金将使Agmon博士能够在日本（Riken）居民在日本度过一年，以研究丘脑皮层回路中不同类别的新皮质抑制性中间神经元的功能作用。 Agmon博士此前曾研究过成熟动物和发育中的丘脑皮质连接的功能和形态组织。 Kawaguchi博士一直在阐明皮质中抑制性中间神经元的形态和电生理特性的丰富多样性。 Agmon博士将将他的专业知识与Kawaguchi博士相结合，以研究抑制丘脑皮质回路的功能和形态学组织。 该提案汇集了来自两个国家在神经元解剖和生理学领域工作的研究科学家。美国科学家将有机会熟悉Riken的研究技术，设备和设施，同时为整体研究工作做出贡献。因此，该提案通过国际合作来实现该计划的交换和科学知识转移的目标。 ***
