The meeting gathered about 30 participants and details of the 2010-researches conducted in each field were presented to them. The meeting served an opportunity for the participants to exchange their opinions actively. ○Together with the research presentation meeting, a meeting by the steering committee for “Multidisciplinary program for elucidating the brain development from molecules to social behavio” was held on February 28(Mon.) , 2011. In the meeting, the committee members discussed the committee activity-status in the 2010-fiscal year and the committee activity-plan in the 2011-fiscal year. 　 2010.7.12　 　Here are the researches of the members of "Multidisciplinary program for elucidating the brain development from molecules to social behavior; aiming for new proposals for child care and education (FUKUI BRAIN PROJECT)" in 2009.
