The hypothalamus contains an astounding heterogeneity of neurons that regulate endocrine, autonomic, and behavioral functions. However, its molecular developmental trajectory and origin of neuronal diversity remain unclear. Here, we profile the transcriptome of 43,261 cells derived from Rax+ hypothalamic neuroepithelium
