     Finally, to more concretely link morphologically and transcriptionally defined RCs, we performed digital PCR for additional marker genes on cellular content extracted from individual rosehip neurons.

     For instance, Boldog et al. identified a new specialized human cortical GABAergic cell type called a rosehip neuron. These rosehip neurons seem to be functionally related to regulation of distal dendritic computation in pyramidal neurons

     We demonstrate its presence in single nucleus RNA-seq of ∼16000 human cortical neurons (including rosehip neurons).
