Single cell transcriptomic studies have identified a conserved set of neocortical cell types from small post-mortem cohorts. We extend these efforts by assessing cell type variation across 75 adult individuals undergoing epilepsy and tumor surgeries. Nearly all nuclei map to one of 125 robust cell types identified in middle temporal gyrus, but with varied abundances and gene expression signatures across donors, particularly in deep layer glutamatergic neurons. A minority of variance is explainable by known factors including donor identity and small contributions from age, sex, ancestry, and disease state. Genomic variation was significantly associated with variable expression of 150-250 genes for most cell types. Thus, human individuals display a highly consistent cellular makeup, but with significant variation reflecting donor characteristics, disease condition, and genetic regulation. One-Sentence SummaryInter-individual variation in human cortex is greatest for deep layer excitatory neurons and largely unexplainable by known factors.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
