TL;DR: The isocortex and hippocampal formation (HPF) in the mammalian brain play critical roles in perception, cognition, emotion, and learning as discussed by the authors, and a transcriptomic cell type taxonomy revealing a comprehensive repertoire of glutamatergic and GABAergic neuron types.

TL;DR: This study establishes a molecular architecture of the mammalian isocortex and hippocampal formation for the first time, and begins to shed light on its underlying relationship with the development, evolution, connectivity and function of these two brain structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reference atlas of diverse neuronal and non-neuronal cell types in the mouse primary motor cortex is presented, including a population of excitatory neurons that resemble pyramidal cells in layer 4.

TL;DR: It is found that the mouse DMN consists of preferentially interconnected cortical regions, and two L5 projection types differentiated by in- or out-DMN targets, laminar position, and gene expression are identified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used chromatin accessibility data from individual cells and identified enhancers specific for cell subclasses and types to facilitate access to specific neural populations in mouse cortex.
