A High-Resolution Transcriptomic Atlas of Cell Types in the Ventral Visual Thalamus.
Article in Journal of neurochemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Axons from retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) convey visual information from the retina to distinct regions within the mammalian brain, including several nuclei within the visual thalamus. In rodents, the visual thalamus contains three primary retinorecipient regions: the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), the ventral LGN (vLGN), and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL). While principal retinorecipient neurons in dLGN are excitatory thalamocortical relay cells (TRCs), most neurons in vLGN are GABAergic, including GABAergic projection neurons. Previous studies suggest that both dLGN and vLGN neurons may be specified into parallel visual pathways for processing and transmitting to select cortical and subcortical brain regions, respectively. While dLGN neurons have been studied extensively, prior studies suggest that additional cell types remain to be identified and characterized in vLGN. Here, we used transcriptomic profiling to generate the first comprehensive and high-resolution atlas for cell types in the mouse vLGN. This atlas was generated based on a single nucleus-sequencing (snRNA-Seq) dataset that contained data from over 16 500 nuclei. We systematically analyzed neuronal and non-neuronal cell types across vLGN based on gene expression. The results revealed the identity of 20 potential types of neurons in the mouse vLGN, including at least two excitatory neuronal types. This comprehensive transcriptomic atlas of mouse vLGN establishes a benchmark reference atlas and a foundational resource for deep and integrative investigations of cell type and circuit function, development, and evolution of an essential nucleus of the mammalian visual system.
