Gene sets were taken from Sugino et al. (2006) who found extremely divergent expression profiles from GABA-ergic interneurons and glutamatergic pyramidal neurons. p values for top candidates ranged from a maximum of 1.5 × 10−11 to 1.8 × 10−27 (GABAergic versus glutamatergic population). Only genes that had rat homologes and were present on the Affymetrics arrays were used. Significant genes in the microarray experiment from mPFC are in bold letters.
