Dataset: Transcription profiling of rat brain cortex from corticosterone treated animals

Animal models represent a very useful tool for the study of depressive-like behaviour and for the evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of antidepressants. Nevertheless, gene expression patterns of these different animal models and whether genes classically associated to human major depression are present in these genetic profiles remain unknown. Gene expression was evaluated in an animal model of depression: corticosterone-treated rats. Gene expression analyses were carried out using the Affymetrix® GeneChip® technology. Experiment Overall Design: In total, 19 animals were studied, 10 corticosterone-treated rats and 9 control rats
