Investigating neuronal cell types through comparative cellular physiology

Comprehensive understanding of nervous systems would require the unambiguous identification of all neuronal cell types, which are distinguished by gene-expression differences, particularly in plasma-membrane receptors and ion channels. Toward this ultimate goal, a recent paper initiated an approach...

Sumario:Comprehensive understanding of nervous systems would require the unambiguous identification of all neuronal cell types, which are distinguished by gene-expression differences, particularly in plasma-membrane receptors and ion channels. Toward this ultimate goal, a recent paper initiated an approach to identify and study divergent neuronal cell types through comparative cellular physiology.
