N1 - Funding Information: MLB meetings were supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas-Molecular Brain Science-from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (16070101). Funding Information: To this end, researchers in the fields of neurology, mouse genetics, mouse embryo engineering, and molecular neurobiology from universities and research institutes in Japan gathered in Tokyo and discussed the possibility of investigator-initiated systematic generation and analysis of genetically engineered mice on 29 January and 15 April 2005 and 6–7 October 2006. Currently, laboratories in each university and research institute develop their own systems for mouse molecular genetics and functional analyses. Now, it is time to cooperate towards comprehensive and integrative brain science. The attendees of these meetings are the authors of this paper. We agreed to establish a working group called “Mouse Liaison for Integrative Brain Research (MLB)” to develop systematic and sophisticated approaches for integrative brain research using genetically engineered mice on the pure genetic background of the C57BL/6 strain. MLB is currently undertaking three types of activity partly supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas-Integrative Brain Research-from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, and Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). First, we are generating conditionally mutant mice on the pure genetic background of the C57BL/6 strain ( Mishina and Sakimura, 2007 ). Second, we are preparing a Phenome Project consortium for the first and second tier phenotyping ( Takao et al., 2007 ). Third, we are establishing a mutant mouse research platform for gathering information and resources in the fields of neuroscience and neurology (see http://www.brc.riken.jp ).
