Allen Brain Atlas

The Neuroscience Gateway, published in association with Nature, focuses on the genetics of the mammalian brain. Its Allen Brain Atlas can be searched by gene names, markers and symbols, anatomic structure or fine structure annotation. It can be browsed by
  • Structure -- Cerebellum / Cerebral cortex / Hippocampal region / Hippocampal formation / Hypothalamus / Lateral septal complex / Midbrain / Medulla / Olfactory bulb / Pons / Pallidum / Retrohippocampal region / Striatum-like amygdalar nuclei / Striatum / Striatum dorsal region / Striatum ventral region / Thalamus
  • Gene symbol
  • Images -- Coronal or Sagittal
Searches return basic information about the gene, plus links to NCBI and other sources. Running your mouse over the Epression Level/Expression Density bar changes the image to show the anatomic area.
