The functional diversity of retinal ganglion cells in the mouse (2016, neutral): “2a–c; SI Data 2 1–32 ) and accounted for all known RGC types in the mouse retina 15 .”
COMPREHENSIVE CLASSIFICATION OF RETINAL BIPOLAR NEURONS BY SINGLE-CELL TRANSCRIPTOMICS (2016, neutral): “Existing taxonomies represent neurons as a hierarchy of types whose distinctions reflect criteria such as morphology, physiology, and gene expression (Sanes and Masland, 2015).”
Highly parallel genome-wide expression profiling of individual cells using nanoliter droplets (2015, background): “For example, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which consist of about 30 types (Sanes and Masland, 2015), formed a single cluster in our analysis, perhaps because it is a rare cell population (1%, Table 1).”
The Human Cell Atlas (2017, background): “Cell-type taxonomies are often represented as hierarchies based on morphological, physiological, and molecular differences (Sanes and Masland, 2015).”
