Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrograde labeling involves injecting a tracer, such as a fluorescent dye or a retrovirus, into a specific region and then allowing it to be taken up by neurons that have axons projecting into that region. As a result, this technique can be used to trace axons that are afferent (projecting towards) to the region of injection.
