Table 3.

Correlations between gene expression levels of all structural and signaling genes assessed by qRT-PCR in brains of adolescent male mice that were sedentary (n = 10) or exercised with voluntary wheel running (n = 9) for 1 week prior to sacrifice. Two brain regions were analyzed, the hippocampus and cerebellum. Correlations that were significant (p < 0.05) are presented in the table. Correlation values in red were negative and in black were positive.

Bdnf = brain derived growth factor, Calb = calbindin d28k, Camk4 = calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase 4, Cbln1 = cerebellin 1 precursor protein, Csk = c-src tyrosine kinase, Esr1 = estrogen receptor α, Esr2 = estrogen receptor β, Fmr1 = fragile X mental retardation protein, Grid2 = glutamate receptor, Ncs = neuronal calcium sensor1, Reln = reelin, Syn = synapsin, Syp = synaptophysin.
