Viral Tracers for the Analysis of Neural Circuits

This chapter discusses how the pseudorabies virus (PRV) strain Bartha, an attenuated form of a pig alphaherpesvirus, is an excellent retrograde transneuronal tracer for labeling neural networks in central nervous system networks involving chains of two or more functionally connected neurons.

Viral Transneuronal Tracing Technology: Defining the Synaptic Organisation of Neural Circuits

An overview of the method as well as mechanisms that contribute to its effectiveness for circuit analysis are provided as these pathogens have been most widely applied in transneuronal tracing studies.

Untangling Neural Networks with Dual Retrograde Transsynaptic Viral Infection

The ability of the recombinant RV to visualize the morphology of the infected cell and to infect primates in addition to rodents will make this technique a potential tool to provide new insights into the complex organization of brain networks.

Transneuronal transfer of herpes virus from peripheral nerves to cortex and brainstem.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 was transferred transneuronally from forelimb and hindlimb nerves of rats to the cortical and brainstem neurons that project to the spinal enlargements to which the nerves receiving injections are connected.

Axonal Transport of Rabies Virus in the Central Nervous System of the Rat

The distribution of infected neurons showed that retrograde axoplasmic flow plays a determining role in the transport of rabies virus 24 hours after delivery of virus to specific target nuclei.
