Abstract:

Neuronal gene expression is known to play a key role in determining the differentiation of neuronal development. An understanding of how neuronal activity modifies gene expression can help elucidate mechanisms of long-term neuronal plasticities in the brain. Data from gene expression in neuronal activity are commonly spatially-correlated counts of activated neurons. We discuss several models for the complex inhomogeneous count data: from parametrics to semiparametrics. Simultaneous confidence regions in these models are investigated. A real example in neuroscience are also explored in the paper.
