Marker genes
CDH23, CDH4, COL24A1, ITGB8, NXPH1, PAX6, PCSK6, SLC8A1, SPHKAP
Annotation genes
CDH23, ITGB8, NXPH1, PAX6
Annotation rationales
Developmental TF PAX6 with adhesion CDH23/ITGB8 and synaptic organizer NXPH1 indicates placement/stabilization of VIP cells within layer-specific niches.
Functional implications
Guides late-stage circuit assembly, securing correct targeting of VIP disinhibition onto SST/PV networks and consolidating layer-specific plasticity rules.
