Improved Brain Mapping Tool 20 Times More Powerful than Previous Version

A Salk team builds upon their rabies virus technology to better map neurons across large swaths of the nervous system. In a mouse brain section (thalamus), neurons providing monosynaptic inputs to cortical inhibitory neurons are traced via rabies (blue). Purple counterstaining shows surrounding cellular architecture.
