The most important achievement is the publication of our novel behavioural tracking software that we are using. The manuscript has been accepted now and will be published within the next days. This publication includes the original experiments on which this project is based on and new experiments that were not finished at the time of the proposal. This also means that our novel software that we will used throughout the project is fully ready and all further behavioural analyses can be completed speedily.We established the working setups and the basic experiments in our new lab in Sapporo. Also, we recruited an undergraduate and a Master student. All of these efforts took a bit longer than expected, but now we are ready for all planned experiments.The Master student already started experiments testing for the molecular basis of the observed locomotion phenotypes. Towards this end, we decided to first employ a drug treatment to inhibit the production of dopamine, before investigating individual dopamine receptors. The first results look very promising.Also, we started to check the first Parkinson's disease fly models for behavioural and anatomical phenotypes.

最重要的成就是我们正在使用的新型行为跟踪软件的发布。手稿现已被接受，并将在接下来的几天内出版。本出版物包括该项目所基于的原始实验以及在提出提案时尚未完成的新实验。这也意味着我们将在整个项目中使用的新颖软件已经完全准备好，所有进一步的行为分析都可以快速完成。我们在札幌的新实验室建立了工作设置和基本实验。此外，我们还招收了一名本科生和一名硕士生。所有这些努力花费的时间比预期要长一些，但现在我们已经为所有计划的实验做好了准备。硕士生已经开始实验测试所观察到的运动表型的分子基础。为此，我们决定首先采用药物治疗来抑制多巴胺的产生，然后再研究个体多巴胺受体。第一个结果看起来非常有希望。此外，我们开始检查第一个帕金森病果蝇模型的行为和解剖表型。
