a TRIO-tracing strategy targeting AAVretro-EF1a-Cre in PF.ul (PF upper limb), and rabies virus (AAV8-hSyn-FLEX-TVA-GFP) and Cre-dependent helper virus (EnvA G-del-Rabies-mCherry) in SC.l reveal mono-synaptic inputs to the PF-projecting neurons in the SC.l. b Raw images of injection sites in PF.ul, and SC.l with zoomed in panels of triple labels starter cells in SC (case SW190926-10A). c Rabies retrograde labeling in somatic sensorimotor cortical areas MOp and SSp-bfd. Cells labeled in the dorsal and central lateral substantia nigra reticulata (SNr), the interpolar part of the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal (SPVI) and dentate nucleus (DN) of the cerebellum. Bottom right corner is a summary diagram showing that thalamic (PF) projecting neurons in SC.l receive convergent inputs from the somatic sensorimotor cortical areas (MOp, SSp), subset of the basal ganglia (SNr), somatic sensory nuclei (i.e., SPVI), and deep cerebellar nuclei (i.e., DN).
