This chapter describes the genetic analysis of a morphometric neuroanatomic
trait. We used the extended BXD family of recombinant inbred mouse strains with
the intent to analyze the genetic bases of heritable differences in hippocampal
neurocircuitry and to identify Quantitative Trait Loci that underlie these
variations. A detailed description of a GeneNetwork analysis is provided using
data for the intra- and infrapyramidal mossy fiber (IIPMF) terminal fields which
are strongly correlated with spatial navigation/radial maze learning.
