The mammalian brain is a complex organ composed of an array of morphologically distinct and functionally unique cells with diverse molecular signatures and multiple regions that perform specialized and discrete functions. The dissection procedure reported here can have multiple goals depending on the requirements of the lab. In our lab we assessed transcription in multiple brain regions collected from mice exposed to PTSD like stress16 . We would like to study further the impact of strain genetic ...

The brain, along with the spinal cord and retina, comprise&#160;the central nervous system that executes complex behaviors, controlled by specialized, precisely positioned, and interacting cell types throughout the entire body1. The brain is a complex organ with billions of interconnected neurons and glia with precise circuitry performing numerous functions. It is a bilateral structure with two distinct lobes and diverse cellular components2. The spinal cord connects the brain to the outside world and is protected by bone, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid and routes messages to and from the brain2,3,4. The surface of the brain, the cerebral cortex, is uneven and has distinct folds, called gyri, and grooves, called sulci, that separate the brain into functional centers5. The cortex is smooth in mammals with a small brain6,7. It is important to characterize and study the architecture of the human brain in order to understand the disorders related to the different brain regions, as well as its functional circuits. Neuroscience research has expanded in recent years and a variety of experimental methods are being used to study the structure and function of the brain. Developments in the fields of molecular and systems-level biology have ushered in a new era of exploring the complex relationship between brain structures and the functioning of molecules. Additionally, molecular biology, genetics, and epigenetics are rapidly expanding, enabling us to advance our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms involved in how systems function. These analyses can be carried out on a much more localized basis, to help target the investigation and development of more effective therapies.
The mammalian brain is structurally defined into clearly identifiable discrete regions; however, the functional and molecular complexities of these discrete structures are not yet clearly understood. The multi-dimensional and multi-layered nature of the brain tissue makes this landscape difficult to study at the functional level. In addition, the fact that multiple functions are performed by the same structure and vice versa further complicates the understanding of the brain8. It is vital that the experimental approach executed for the structural and functional characterization of brain regions uses precise research methodologies to achieve consistency in sampling for correlating neuroanatomical architecture with function. The complexity of brain has been recently explained using single cell sequencing9,10 such as the temporal gyrus of the human brain which is composed of 75 distinct cell types11. By comparing this data to those from an analogous region of the mouse brain, the study not only reveals similarities in their architecture and cell types but also presents the differences. To unravel the complex mechanisms, it is therefore important to study diverse regions of the brain with full precision. Conserved structures and function between a human and mouse brain enable the use of a mouse as a preliminary surrogate for elucidating human brain function and behavioral outcomes.
With the advancement of systems biology approaches, obtaining information from discrete brain regions in rodents has become a key procedure in neuroscience research.While some protocols such as laser&#160;capture&#160;microdissection12 can be expensive, mechanical protocols are inexpensive and performed using commonly available tools13,14. We have used multiple brain regions for transcriptomic assays15 and have developed a hands-on and rapid procedure to dissect mouse brain regions of interest in a step-by-step manner in a short time. Once dissected, these samples can be stored immediately in cold conditions to preserve the nucleic acids and proteins of these tissues. Our approach can be performed faster leading to high efficiency and permitting less chances for tissue deterioration. This ultimately, increases the chances of generating high quality, reproducible experiments using brain tissues.

microdissection of mouse brain into functionally and anatomically different regions

The brain is the command center for the mammalian nervous system and an organ with enormous structural complexity. Protected within the skull, the brain consists of an outer covering of grey matter over the hemispheres known as the cerebral cortex. Underneath this layer reside many other specialized structures that are essential for multiple phenomenon important for existence. Acquiring samples of specific gross brain regions requires quick and precise dissection steps.&#160;It is understood that at the microscopic level, many sub-regions exist and likely cross the arbitrary regional boundaries that we impose for the purpose of this dissection.
Mouse models are routinely used to study human brain functions and diseases. Changes in gene expression patterns may be confined to specific brain areas targeting a particular phenotype depending on the diseased state. Thus, it is of great importance to study regulation of transcription with respect to its well-defined structural organization. A complete understanding of the brain requires studying distinct brain regions, defining connections, and identifying key differences in the activities of each of these brain regions. A more comprehensive understanding of each of these distinct regions may pave the way for new and improved treatments in the field of neuroscience. Herein, we discuss a step-by-step methodology for dissecting the mouse brain into sixteen distinct regions. In this procedure, we have focused on male mouse C57Bl/6J (6-8 week old) brain removal and dissection into multiple regions using neuroanatomical landmarks to identify and sample discrete functionally-relevant and behaviorally-relevant&#160;brain regions. This work will help lay a strong foundation in the field of neuroscience, leading to more focused approaches in the deeper understanding of brain function.

Our understanding of the complex brain structure and function is rapidly evolving and improving. The brain contains multiple distinct regions and building a molecular map can help us better understand how the brain works. In this method paper, we have discussed the dissection of the mouse brain into multiple distinct regions (Table 1). In this protocol, the structures are identified based on the critical landmarks and is achieved by keeping the tissue moist with saline solution by retaining its sturdines...
