Were neurons and non-neurons sequenced using the same protocol?

Hi,

Quick question about the dataset: were neurons and non-neurons processed and sequenced using the exact same protocol (library prep, chemistry, sequencing, etc.), or were there any differences between them?

asking because I want to make sure the differences I see in counts are biological rather than driven by technical effects, and to know whether additional normalization is needed

Thank you for the amazing data!
