Brain Mapping with Novel Rabies Viral vectors
Researchers have developed 20 novel recombinant viral vectors for mapping neural circuits in Alzheimer’s and aging studies. These vectors highlight microstructural differences in brain neurons by using enhanced fluorescent proteins. They provide insights into neural networks on both a micro and macro level.
They are powerful tools to dissect neural circuitry, both in a healthy and ill state. This innovation will open new treatment pathways and be shared with the neuroscientific community by UCI’s Center for Neural Circuit Mapping.
