Fig. 3. Modulatory neurotransmitter types and their distribution throughout the brain.

Fig. 3

a,b, Neuronal subclasses containing clusters that release modulatory neurotransmitters and their various co-release combinations with glutamate and/or GABA. UMAPs are coloured by subclass (a) and neurotransmitter type (b). c, Representative MERFISH sections showing the location of neuronal types expressing modulatory neurotransmitters. Cells are coloured by neurotransmitter type and labelled by subclass ID. See Supplementary Table 7 for detailed neurotransmitter assignment for each cluster.
