List of human neurons?

[NuSynth]

Is there a list of all known human neuron types somewhere? I see there is a database of a lot of different neurons, but it includes neurons of other species at modeldb dot science. I also dont know if that database contains all known human neurons.

What counts as a neuron type? There's some history on this in Shepherd et al., 2019 and Yuste et al., 2020, both of which tell a similar story through the 2005 Petilla Convention and advocate that transcriptomics needs to at least be part of the story.

If you search Interlex you'll find thousands of neuron types, not necessarily human... and not necessarily disjoint. (e.g., do you care about the expression of parvalbumin or is morphology more important?)

Gouwens et al, 2019 used machine learning to group cells in the mouse visual cortex and found 46 morpho-electric types there alone.

There's a site called NeuroMorpho.Org which is currently offline at the moment that has morphology reconstructions and a (mostly) anatomy-driven characterization.
