A taxonomy of transcriptomic cell types across the isocortex and hippocampal formation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The isocortex and hippocampal formation (HPF) in the mammalian brain play critical roles in perception, cognition, emotion and learning. We profiled ~1.3 million cells covering the entire adult mouse isocortex and HPF and derived a transcriptomic celltype taxonomy which includes many new glutamatergic and GABAergic neuron types. Contrary to the traditional view of HPF as having a simpler cellular organization, we discover a complete set of glutamatergic types in HPF homologous to all major subclasses found in the six-layered isocortex, suggesting that HPF and isocortex share a common circuit organization. We also identify large-scale continuous and graded variation of cell types along isocortical depth, across isocortical sheet and in multiple dimensions in hippocampus and subiculum. Overall, our study establishes a molecular architecture of mammalian isocortex and hippocampal formation and begins to shed light on its underlying relationship with the development, evolution, connectivity and function of these two brain structures.
