Cell type composition of the CN. Integration of transcriptomic, electrophysiological, and morphological data results in a set of five cell types that are present in each CN, and that are conserved across amniotes

Note that a small group of nucleus-specific glycinergic cells present in the lateral part of the Med in mice is not part of this Table, as, on the surface, it violates this rule. Closer inspection, however, suggests that it is likely a Class-B type neuron that switched neurotransmitter from glutamate to glycine, thus fitting into the scheme.
