用重组RV病毒技术揭开神经回路的神秘面纱学案.doc

Revealing the secrets of neuronal circuits with recombinant rabies virus technology 用重组RV病毒技术揭开神经回路的神秘面纱 An understanding of how the brain processes information requires knowledge of the architecture of its underlying neuronal circuits, as well as insights into the relationship between architecture and physiological function. A range of sophisticated tools is needed to acquire this knowledge, and recombinant rabies virus (RABV) is becoming an increasingly important part of this essential toolbox. RABV has been recognized for years for its properties as a synapse-specific trans-neuronal tracer.
