The authors utilized single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplexed error-robust FISH to generate a cell census of the mouse nucleus accumbens, revealing a high level of cell heterogeneity. This study demonstrates that the transcriptional and spatial diversity of neuron subtypes underlie the anatomic and functional heterogeneity of the nucleus accumbens.
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays an important role in regulating multiple behaviors, and its dysfunction has been linked to many neural disorders. However, the molecular, cellular and anatomic heterogeneity underlying its functional diversity remains incompletely understood. In this study, we generated a cell census of the mouse NAc using single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization, revealing a high level of cell heterogeneity in this brain region. Here we show that the transcriptional and spatial diversity of neuron subtypes underlie the NAc's anatomic and functional heterogeneity. These findings explain how the seemingly simple neuronal composition of the NAc achieves its highly heterogenous structure and diverse functions. Collectively, our study generates a spatially resolved cell taxonomy for understanding the structure and function of the NAc, which demonstrates the importance of combining molecular and spatial information in revealing the fundamental features of the nervous system. The authors generated a cell census of mouse nucleus accumbens using single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplexed error-robust FISH. These data suggest that transcriptional and spatial diversity of neuron subtypes underlies nucleus accumbens anatomic and functional heterogeneity.
