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.

TL;DR: Behavior, anatomical, and gene expression studies that together support a functional segmentation into three hippocampal compartments are reviewed, finding gene expression in the dorsal hippocampus correlates with cortical regions involved in information processing, while genes expressed in the ventral hippocampus correlate with regions involved with emotion and stress.

TL;DR: Molecular genetic approaches are used to map the functional connectivity of a subpopulation of GABA-containing neurons, located in the lateral subdivision of the central amygdala (CEl), which express protein kinase C-δ (PKC- δ) and define an inhibitory microcircuit in CEl that gates CEm output to control the level of conditioned freezing.

TL;DR: The ENIGMA Consortium has detected factors that affect the brain that no individual site could detect on its own, and that require larger numbers of subjects than any individual neuroimaging study has currently collected.

TL;DR: A collection of 125 PHAL experiments in the rat has been analyzed to characterize the organization of projections from each amygdalar cell group to the bed nuclei of the stria terminalis, which surround the crossing of the anterior commissure.
