Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- Dalley et al. present a layer-resolved patch-seq resource that integrates transcriptomic, morphological, electrophysiological, and spatial data across human neocortical glutamatergic neuron types.
- The study characterizes understudied human L4 IT, L5/6 NP, and L6 neurons.

## Why it matters

It gives neuroscientists a multimodal reference for human cortical excitatory neuron types, which is useful for comparing human neurons with those studied in other species and for interpreting cell-type data.
