Abstract excerpt

Neuronal phenotypic traits such as morphology, connectivity and function are dictated, to a large extent, by a specific combination of differentially expressed genes. Clusters of neurons in transcriptomic space correspond to distinct cell types and in some cases-for example, Caenorhabditis elegans neurons1 and retinal ganglion cells2-4-have been shown to share morphology and function. The zebrafish optic tectum...
