Voxelation is a new method for acquisition of three dimensional (3D)
gene expression patterns in the brain. It employs high-throughput analysis of spatially registered voxels (cubes) to produce multiple volumetric maps of gene expression analogous to the images
reconstructed in biomedical imaging systems. Using microarrays, 24 voxel images of coronal hemisections at the level of the hippocampus of
both the normal human brain and Alzheimer's disease brain were
acquired for 2000 genes. The analysis revealed a common network of
coregulated genes, and allowed identification of putative control
regions. In addition, singular value decomposition (SVD), a
mathematical method used to provide economical explanations of complex
data sets, produced images that distinguished between brain structures, including cortex, caudate, and hippocampus. The results suggest that
voxelation will be a useful approach for understanding how the genome
constructs the brain.
