Annotation rationales
NTNG1 excitatory neurons are glutamatergic neurons distinguished by netrin-G1-associated connectivity and synaptic-recognition programs.
Functional implications
They contribute to selective excitatory circuit wiring and information transfer through cell-type-specific axonal and synaptic partnerships.
