“…In an attempt to identify region specific gene expression, studies were conducted on individual brain regions and cells isolated from these regions. These included the cortex (Kishi et al, ; Pacheco et al, ; Tudor, Akbarian, Chen, & Jaenisch, ; Urdinguio et al, ), visual cortex (Gabel et al, ; Renthal et al, ), the cerebellum (Ben‐Shachar et al, ; Gabel et al, ; Jordan, Li, Kwan, & Francke, ; Mellen, Ayata, & Heintz, ; Mellen, Ayata, Dewell, Kriaucionis, & Heintz, ; Sanfeliu, Hokamp, Gill, & Tropea, ; Urdinguio et al, ), whole brain (Guo et al, ; Kriaucionis et al, ; Nuber et al, ), the whole hippocampus (Baker et al, ; Tudor et al, ), and the amygdala (Samaco et al, ). Studies were also conducted on cell sources originating from distinct regions of the brain including forebrain (Tudor et al, ), hypothalamus (Chahrour et al, ; Chen et al, ), midbrain (Urdinguio et al, ), and striatum (Zhao, Goffin, Johnson, & Zhou, ), granule cells of the dentate gyrus hippocampal region (Smrt et al, ), embryonic cortical neurons (Bedogni et al, ; Vacca et al, ), and excitatory and inhibitory cortical neurons (Johnson et al, ).…”
