Description

Excerpted from the website:

The MBL consists of high-resolution images and databases of brains from many genetically characterized strains of mice. There are numerous uses of the MBL, but our own mission is to systematically map and characterize genes that modulate architecture of the mammalian CNS (for a complete description of our projects refer to our P20 Human Brain Project award: Informatics Center for Mouse Neurogenetics). For example, we want to understand much more about normal genetic variants (normal alleles, not necessarily mutations) that generate differences in cell populations and cell phenotypes in hippocampus, cerebellum, striatum, olfactory bulb, thalamus, and neocortex. For this reason, MBL databases also include detailed information on genomes of many strains of mice (see BXN release 1). The collection now consists of images from approximately 800 brains and numerical data from just over 8000 mice.
