Bar graphs summarizing the pathway and GO enrichment analysis for the different substructures of hippocampus. (a) Top 10 significant GO terms associated with the genes expressed in each of the hippocampal substructures. The horizontal axis represents the –log10 (p-value) for the GO terms represented on the vertical axis. Enrichment of terms related to neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation was found specific to dentate gyrus (DG) and cornus ammonis (CA4) regions, while synapse-associated genes are particularly enriched in CA4 region. (b) KEGG pathway enrichment had neurotrophin signaling, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and long term potentiation as the top enriched brain tissue-specific pathways. This pathway image is obtained from KEGG77, 78. (c) Long-term potentiation pathway mapped with the genes enriched in DG is known for its role in neurogenesis and other hippocampus specific functions. The genes of interest have been highlighted in red color.
