BrainTx

Provides data on the transcriptome related to mouse cerebellar development. BrainTx is a neuroinformatics database that contains gene expression information related to various stages and states of the brain. This online resource assigns parent ID number to each gene as described above and classifies different expression data for each gene, which are obtained from different transcripts of a gene or obtained by different probes of a gene.

Distribution of cellular HSV 1 receptor expression in human brain

2016

PMCID: 5440480

PMID: 27981441

[…] ression levels, the ABA human gene database was interrogated in differential mode for Hpc versus a control brain tissue, cerebellum. For developmental expression profiling, the microarray-based Human Brain Transcriptome database (consulted August 2016; http://hbatlas.org/pages/hbtd) was employed. Expression levels (log2 values) at different developmental stages were calculated from the trendline p […]

Association of Protein Distribution and Gene Expression Revealed by PET and Post Mortem Quantification in the Serotonergic System of the Human Brain

2016

PMCID: 5939202

PMID: 27909009

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhw355

[…] r a confirmatory analysis, mRNA expression of the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, SERT as well as MAO-A from 15 age-matched adult brains (6 female, mean age = 32.0, SD = 10.1) was derived from the Human Brain Transcriptome database (http://hbatlas.org/). In total, this spatio-temporal transcriptome of the human brain includes mRNA expression values of 16 regions (cerebellar cortex, mediodorsal nucleu […]
