Rabies Virus Spreads to New Neurons to Trace Circuits

Caption

This image shows a portion of the lumbar spinal cord of an adult mouse. Here, the newly developed rabies virus was injected into 'starter cell' motor neurons in the lumbar spinal cord (shown in red and green). Red-only neurons are those connected to the starter neurons that the rabies virus has traveled to.
