Iterative co-creation of harmonized human and non-human primate cellular and structural ontologies and 3D common coordinate frameworks for the basal ganglia

The paper describes the iterative creation of harmonized ontologies and 3D frameworks for the basal ganglia across human and non-human primates to enable cross-species comparisons of cellular and molecular data.

Multimodal characterization of variation in neuronal types in the mouse basal ganglia

This study uses multimodal Patch-seq data to show that gene expression gradients in mouse basal ganglia neurons correlate with spatial location, physiology, and morphology.
