We should note that this is our first experience using the Illumina platform and the initial set of 13 slides were are not included. This particular data set was processed using the Illumina "Rank Invariant" protocol. Values were log2 transformed and the current data range from 6.141 average (very low or no expression) to 19.987 (extremely high).</p>

-<p>As a measure of data quality we often count the number of probes that are associated with LOD scores of greater than 10 (LRS > 46). In this initial data set, 1170 probes have LRS values >46. The maximum LRS achieved in this data set is 358.8 for probe ILM103520706 (Disabled 1; <em>Dab1</em>).</p>

This probe has a Mendelian segregation pattern and is associated with a LOD score of 77.7 (LRS 358.8). The two parental strains are shown to the far left, followed by all of the LXS strains for which we have acquired mRNA expression estimates in the hippocampus. </small></p>

-<p>ABOUT THE HIPPOCAMPUS. The hippocampus is an important and intriguing part of the forebrain that is crucial in memory formation and retrieval. This region of the brain is particularly vulnerable to the effects of environmental stressors and is a key upstream modulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (the HPA). The hippocampus is also often affected in epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Unlike most other parts of the brain, the hippocampus contains a remarkable population of stems cells that continue to generate neurons and glial cells even in adult mammals (Kempermann, <a class="fs14" href="http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Medicine/Neurology/~~/c2Y9Y29taW5nc29vbiZzcz1wdWJkYXRlLmFzYyZzZD1hc2MmcGY9MTAmdmlldz11c2EmcHI9MTAmYm9va0NvdmVycz15ZXMmY2k9MDE5NTE3OTcxNA==" target="_empty">2005</a>). This genetic analysis of transcript expression in the hippocampus (dentate gyrus, CA1-CA3) is a joint effort of 14 investigators supported by numerous agencies described in the Acknowledgments section.</p>
