  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  Not Specified	Camk2a

• Mutation details: Cre expression is under the alpha Camk2 promoter and is expressed exclusively in forebrain structures: cortex, striatum, hippocampus, amygdala. It is highly expressed in the CA1 region of the hippocampus and expressed less in the CA3 and dentate gyrus. It is not expressed in the midbrain and cerebellum. (J:107042)
