prominent in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, suggests SLC6A15 to play a role in long-term effects of chronic stress on neuronal circuits and is in accordance with the human MD risk genotype-dependent effects assayed by in vivo volumetry which were also strongest in the CA subregion of the hippocampus.
