Marker genes
CADPS2, CAMK2D, CASC15, DPY19L1, ETV1, FNBP1L, IPCEF1, PCP4, SNCG, TLL1, TRABD2A
Annotation genes
CADPS2, CAMK2D, ETV1, PCP4
Annotation rationales
ETV1 marks corticofugal/IT transitional phenotypes; PCP4 tunes calmodulin–Ca²⁺ signaling; CADPS2 increases vesicle priming for exocytosis; CAMK2D provides plasticity control distinct from CAMK2A.
Functional implications
Serves as a flexible relay unit that can rapidly alter release probability and LTP/LTD thresholds during map refinement and learning, linking superficial inputs to deeper outputs.
