Although modified rabies viruses have emerged as a powerful tool for tracing the inputs to genetically defined populations of neurons, the toxicity of the virus has limited its utility. A recent study employed a self-inactivating rabies (SiR) virus that enables recording or manipulation of targeted neurons for months.
虽然经过修饰的狂犬病病毒已成为追踪遗传定义的神经元群体传入信息的有力工具,但该病毒的毒性限制了其应用。最近的一项研究采用了一种自我失活的狂犬病(SiR)病毒,该病毒能够使目标神经元的记录或操作持续数月。
