In the scRNA-seq data, there’s a `region_label` for `PL;ILA;ORB`. I am wondering if there’s any possible way to subset just the `ORB` cells. ---

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. For our 10x data PL-ILA-ORB were profiled together, but for SMART-seq data ORB was profiled separately from PL-ILA. So you should be able to find ORB specific SMART-seq cells available for download. Also, you can use cell type assignment, Allen mouse brain atlas, etc. to identify ORB cell types. Specifically, the [Transcriptomics Explorer](https://transcriptomics.brain-map.org/mouse_ctx-hpf_smart-seq?selectedVisualization=Sampling+Strategy&colorByFeature=Cell+Type&colorByFeatureValue=Gad1) will allow you to visualize the fraction of each cluster represented by cells collected from ORB, and [this taxonomy browser](https://taxonomy.shinyapps.io/ctx_hip_browser_v2) may be useful once you have cell types to explore.
