Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide atlas of gene expression in the adult mouse brain

Ed S. Lein, +109 more
- 11 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: An anatomically comprehensive digital atlas containing the expression patterns of ∼20,000 genes in the adult mouse brain is described, providing an open, primary data resource for a wide variety of further studies concerning brain organization and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mesoscale connectome of the mouse brain

TL;DR: A brain-wide, cellular-level, mesoscale connectome for the mouse, using enhanced green fluorescent protein-expressing adeno-associated viral vectors to trace axonal projections from defined regions and cell types, and high-throughput serial two-photon tomography to image the EGFP-labelled axons throughout the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cloning of a family of genes that encode the melanocortin receptors

TL;DR: The murine and human MSH receptors (MSH-Rs) and a human ACTH receptor (ACTH-R) were cloned and define a subfamily of receptors coupled to guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that may include the cannabinoid receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) in neuroendocrine and autonomic control circuits in the brain.

TL;DR: The high degree of conservation, distinct pharmacology, and unique neuronal distribution of the MC4 receptor suggest specific and complex roles for the melanocortin peptides in neuroendocrine and autonomic control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a receptor for gamma melanotropin and other proopiomelanocortin peptides in the hypothalamus and limbic system.

TL;DR: The location and properties of this receptor provide a pharmacological basis for the action of POMC peptides produced in the brain and possibly a specific physiological role for gamma-MSH.
