GENSAT Confocal Picture of the Day
Monday March 15, 2010
Each day a different image of the mouse nervous system is featured.
GENSAT Confocal Image of the Day for Monday March 15, 2010. Trangenic mouse , gene=melanocortin 3 receptor, age=P7, structure=Thalamus. approximately section 08
Melanocortin 3 receptor is strongly expressed in neurons in the thalamus. Compare this confocal image with brightfield section 10.
Structure: Thalamus
Age: P7
Gene: melanocortin 3 receptor


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.
