Differential gene expression is essential for normal development, and a variety of pathophysiological conditions (including
neurodegeneration, neurotrauma, and ischemic injury) of the central nervous system. Various numbers of mRNAs are expressed
in a given cell at any time point, and changes in relative mRNA levels may have important implications in the development
of pathophysiological processes. Therefore, elucidation of the differentially expressed genes is critical for understanding
of the molecular mechanisms involved in normal and pathological states, as well as providing new insights on molecular targets
for pharmacological manipulation and drug development.
