Selected relevant scRNA-seq studies revealing brain heterogeneity. Recent high throughput brain scRNA-seq studies indicate that mouse brain is composed of a large diversity of specialized cell subpopulations. Arrows indicate the sample collection region and the number of isolated cells. The numbers to the left represent the quantity of cells belonging to each global cell type. The numbers to the right represent the quantity of subpopulations found within each global cell type. Asterisks indicate cells were enriched for oligodendrocyte-lineage.
