Complex trait analysis of the mouse striatum: independent QTLs modulate volume and neuron number

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The striatum plays a pivotal role in modulating motor activity and higher cognitive function. We analyzed variation in striatal volume and neuron number in mice and initiated a complex trait analysis to discover polymorphic genes tha...
