Marker genes
CDH9, COL16A1, COLQ, CXCL14, EPHB6, FSTL5, GRIK4, IQCA1
Annotation genes
CDH9, COL16A1, CXCL14
Annotation rationales
CDH9 and COL16A1 sculpt perisynaptic ECM niches; CXCL14 recruits/communicates with microglia/astrocytes; GRIK4 adds kainate sensitivity.
Functional implications
Positions VIP disinhibition within ECM-defined microdomains, orchestrates glia–neuron interactions to promote synapse remodeling, and tunes local excitatory flow.
