Connecting single-cell transcriptomes to projectomes in mouse visual cortex.

ABSTRACT: The mammalian brain is composed of diverse neuron types that play different functional roles. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing approaches have led to a whole brain taxonomy of transcriptomically-defined cell types, yet cell type definitions that include multiple cellular properties can offer additional insights into a neuron's role in brain circuits. While the Patch-seq method can investigate how transcriptomic properties relate to the local morphological and electrophysiological properties of cell types, linking transcriptomic identities to long-range projections is a major unresolved challenge. To address this, we collected coordinated Patch-seq and whole brain morphology data sets of excitatory neurons in mouse visual cortex. From the Patch-seq data, we defined 16 integrated morpho-ele
