Abstract

A central quest in neuroscience is to gain a holistic understanding of all cell types in the brain. In this issue of Cell, Yao et al. establish a molecular architectural view of cell types across the entire adult mouse isocortex and hippocampal formation and reveal surprising similarities of cell types in these two brain regions.
