To understand the function of cortical circuits, it is necessary to catalog their cellular
diversity. Past attempts to do so using anatomical, physiological or molecular features of …

The vertebrate spinal cord comprises multiple functionally distinct neuronal cell types
arranged in characteristic positions. During development, these different types of neurons …

Altered olfactory function is a common symptom of COVID-19, but its etiology is unknown. A
key question is whether SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-2)–the causal agent in COVID-19–affects …

Single-cell RNA sequencing data can unveil the molecular diversity of cell types. Cell type
atlases of the mouse spinal cord have been published in recent years but have not been …

The mammalian nervous system executes complex behaviors controlled by specialized,
precisely positioned, and interacting cell types. Here, we used RNA sequencing of half a …

The mammalian spinal cord functions as a community of cell types for sensory processing,
autonomic control, and movement. While animal models have advanced our understanding …

The nervous system uses various coding strategies to process sensory inputs. For example,
the olfactory system uses large receptor repertoires and is wired to recognize diverse …

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data allows to create cell type specific
transcriptome profiles. Such profiles can be aligned with genome-wide association studies …

The anterolateral pathway consists of ascending spinal tracts that convey pain, temperature
and touch information from the spinal cord to the brain,,–. Projection neurons of the …

Distinct types of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons may have unique contributions to
chronic pain. Identification of primate sensory neuron types is critical for understanding the …
