Thus far, Anderson's laboratory has endured the slog of using microarray techniques to identify genes with expression patterns linked to fear behavior, followed by in situ hybridization, which traditionally involves twenty-odd complex, error-prone steps, to find just some of the genes expressed in different parts of the amygdala.
, daidzein, genistein and equol) were determined in tissues isolated from the frontal cortex and hippocampus (brain structures critical for VSM) along with the amygdala and cerebellum brain regions, by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) using standard methods based on previously published and validated methods for plasma and urine [ 59 60 ] . The brain tissue method (in brief) follows: The brain samples were lyophilized (pooled by treatment, n = 4 per group) from male rats used as breeders that were on the diet treatments from 50 to 120 days of age.
