Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals midbrain dopamine neuron diversity emerging during mouse brain development

Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons are significantly associated with Parkinson’s disease and yet there is no systematic molecular classification of these heterogenous group of cells. Here authors use single cell RNA sequencing of isolated mouse neurons expressing the transcription factor Pitx3 (broad m...
