Summary
This study provides a comprehensive transcriptomic and spatial atlas of GABAergic neuron types across the mouse telencephalon, integrating data from developing and adult brains. The resulting hierarchical taxonomy reveals more than 1,000 distinct cell clusters, uncovering how spatial organization, developmental origins, and postnatal diversification shape the remarkable diversity of telencephalic inhibitory neurons.
