Description:
HTB tracing is a neural circuit mapping method that uses a modified herpes simplex virus (HSV) vector for retrograde tracing. It allows efficient labeling of neurons projecting to a specific target region. After injection, the virus travels backward across synapses, enabling identification of upstream connected neurons. HTB tracing is useful for mapping input networks and has been applied in various brain and spinal cord studies to reveal long-range connectivity.
