A Multimodal Atlas of Human Brain Cell Types

"A multimodal atlas of human brain cell types" includes sample data targeting two cell types that show species differences between mouse and human. First, it includes a detailed transcriptomic, morphological, and electrophysiological characterization of cell types in layer 1 of human middle temporal gyrus, focusing primarily on different inhibitory cell types. This project also includes gene expression data collected from nuclei in layer 5 of human fronto-insula, with a goal of identifying transcriptomic signatures of Von Economo neurons. Control samples collected as part of the same experiment are also included in the data set. This study was conducted as part of a collaboration between the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the University of Szeged, and the J. Craig Venter Institute. Collaborators request that publications resulting from these data cite their original publication: Transcriptomic and morphophysiological evidence for a specialized human cortical GABAergic cell type (PMID: 30150662).]]>
