| Research Abstract |
By means of retrograde transneuronal labeling technique with rabies virus, the structural basis for cortico-basal ganglia loop circuits was analyzed in macaque monkeys. We demonstrated the existence of a closed, parallel loop involving the dorsal striatum and an open loop involving the ventral striatum. Moreover, we performed cloning of full-length genome and all genes of the CVS strain of rabies virus, and established the rescue system for a rabies virus vector from cDNA plasmid. This enables us to achieve multi-color retrograde transneuronal tracing with maker proteins such as GFP and RFP.
