This work was supported in Taipei by Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica and grants from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan (NSC100-2321-B-001-018, NSC102-2321-B-001-056, NSC102-2320-B-001-021-MY3, and MOST104-2325-B- 001-011) and in Aberdeen, by the Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen, UK. We thank Dr David J. Anderson and Dr Yoshihiro Yoshihara for providing plasmids containing cDNA of eGFP-f and WGA, respectively. Dr John N. Wood, Dr Bai-Chuang Shyu and Dr Yu-Ting Yan for providing transgenic lines including Nav1.8-Cre, Parvalbumin-Cre, ROSA-Gt26 reporter and CAG-STOPfloxed-GFP reporter mice. Also we thank Dr Silvia Arber for offering Parvalbumin-Cre-specific genotyping primer sequence, Dr Philip LeDuc for critical reading of the manuscript, and the Transgenic Core Facility of Academia Sinica for the help on the generation of the 2 Asic3 mutant mice, as well as Dr Sin-Jhong Cheng of NPAS for technique support on electrophysiology

The human preprotachykinin-A gene promoter has been highly conserved and can drive human-like marker gene expression in the adult mouse CNS.
