<strong>Abstract</strong>: The amygdala is an almond shaped structure that mediates various kinds of emotions<br />

including emotional learning and stress-induced anxiety. It has been demonstrated that stress<br />

induces dendritic growth in the lateral amygdala that may contribute to behavioural changes<br />

usually associated with stress.<br />

To identify genes involved in stress-induced changes in the mouse amygdala we per<strong>for</strong>med<br />

microarray analysis using mRNA extracted from this region after six hours of restraint stress. We<br />

have identified 1611 transcripts that were significantly (p
