To Ib or not to b: Transcriptional regulation of tonic type Ib vs. phasic type Is motor neurons

Abstract

Neuronal diversity is a hallmark of the nervous system that has captivated scientists for over a century. In this issue of Neuron, Suresh Jetti and colleagues report the identification of genes that differentiate two closely related but functionally distinct Drosophila neurons through single-cell Patch-seq.1.
