TL;DR: RNA-sequencing analysis of cells in the human cortex enabled identification of diverse cell types, revealing well-conserved architecture and homologous cell types as well as extensive differences when compared with datasets covering the analogous region of the mouse brain.

TL;DR: A large set of driver and reporter transgenic mouse lines are reported, including 23 new driver lines targeting a variety of cortical and subcortical cell populations and 26 new reporter lines expressing an array of molecular tools.

TL;DR: A single-cell characterization pipeline is established using standardized patch-clamp recordings in brain slices and biocytin-based neuronal reconstructions to establish a morpho-electrical taxonomy of cell types for the mouse visual cortex via unsupervised clustering analysis of multiple quantitative features.

TL;DR: 28 met- types are defined that have congruent morphological, electrophysiological, and transcriptomic properties and robust mutual predictability, and layer-specific axon innervation pattern is identified as a defining feature distinguishing different met-types.

TL;DR: In this article, a robust platform combining patch clamp recording, biocytin staining and single-cell RNA-sequencing (Patch-seq) was developed to examine neurosurgically resected human tissues.
