GENSAT Confocal Picture of the Day
Friday February 3, 2012
Each day a different image of the mouse nervous system is featured.
GENSAT Confocal Image of the Day for Friday February 3, 2012. Trangenic mouse , gene=cellular retinoic acid binding protein I, age=P7, structure=Midbrain. Crabp1 is expressed in pyramidal neurons in the frontal cortex. Compare this confocal image with brightfield section 8.
Crabp1 expressing neurons in the superior colliculus of the midbrain. Compare this confocal image with brightfield section 9.
Structure: Midbrain
Age: P7
Gene: cellular retinoic acid binding protein I


The GENSAT Project at Rockefeller University is a mouse brain atlas that aims to map the expression of genes in the central nervous system of the mouse, using both in situ hybridization and transgenic mouse techniques.
