These approaches allow direct control over the number of labeled neurons for tracing axonal projections and examining cellular morphology.
The number of labeled neurons can be directly controlled to trace axonal projections and examine cellular morphology.
Intersectional AAV circuit-targeting approaches can target expression of fluorescent reporters, optogenetic ion channels, chemogenetic receptors, disease-associated proteins, and other factors to defined neural circuits.
These approaches can precisely target the expression of fluorescent reporters, optogenetic ion channels, chemogenetic receptors, disease-associated proteins, and other factors to defined neural circuits
The review covers axonal-transport-based intersectional AAV approaches for targeting neuron populations defined by connectivity.
We review emerging techniques that use the axonal transport of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to dissect neural circuits. These intersectional approaches specifically target AAV-mediated gene expression to discrete neuron populations based on their axonal connectivity
The reviewed approaches are described as applicable in mammals ranging from mice to macaques.
