Overview

The consensus basal ganglia cell type taxonomy is the result of iterative clustering and cross-species integration of transcriptomic data from single-nucleus 10x Genomics multiomic profiling. The taxonomy encompasses neurons from key structures within the basal ganglia, including the caudate (Ca), putamen (Pu), nucleus accumbens (NAc), the external and internal segments of the globus pallidus (GPe, GPi), ventral pallidus (VeP), subthalamic nucleus (STN), and substantia nigra (SN). By combining data from multiple primate and rodent species, this consensus taxonomy highlights both conserved and species-specific cell types.
