Transcriptional profiles of male posterior amygdala

To investigate whether male MPN- and VMHvl-projecting neurons in posterior amygdala have distinct transcriptional profiles, we conducted RNAseq onto these subpoplations that were microdissected by laser capture microdissection. Our results demonstrate that each subpoplations had largely distinct set of enriched genes. MPN- and VMHvl-projecting neurons in posterior amygdala and basomedial amygdala posterior part of C57BL/6N male mice were microdissected using Laser capture microdissection. Subsequent RNAseq generated transcriptional profiles of the subnucleus.
