Abstract:
The human brain is divided and categorized in different ways, yet a molecular genetic approach to region specificity does not exist. Using data from 12 healthy control subjects across 18 brain regions, we performed a microarray analysis using both the HG-U133AB and HG-U133 plus 2 chips for each subject to determine molecular targets showing region specificity. Using a previously published data as our guide, we confirm SIX3, GPR6, SH3RF2, and hSyn as molecular markers of the nucleus accumbens and gamma-aminobutyric-acid A receptor alpha-6, Nik-related kinase, and eomesodermin as molecular markers of the cerebellum.
