<p>A complete epigenomic map of human brain cell types will be necessary to fully understand their genetic regulation, and to create the next generation of non-species-restricted genetic tools for their functional characterization.  Here we performed both bulk and single-nucleus ATAC-seq studies of fresh human neocortical samples excised during neurosurgery, in order to discover the functional genomic elements that discriminate cell types.  This dataset contains 78 bulk layer-dissected ATAC-seq samples, and 3660 single-nucleus ATAC-seq samples from fresh acutely isolated human neurosurgical samples.  Furthermore, from these data we identified and validated several enhancers for use in AAV context.  We also provide validation single cell RNA-seq for 456 human acutely labeled neurosurgical neurons labeled by 3 unique enhancer-AAV vectors, and single cell RNA-seq for 1483 mouse neurons labeled in vivo by 11 unique enhancer-AAV vectors. Together these datasets provide high-resolution maps of single human neocortical cell types, as well as proof of the functional utility of the genomic elements discovered.  As a whole these data will be important to furnish the next generation of cell type-specific functional tools and therapies in neuroscience.  </p>
