Fig. 3. Anatomical projections from ACC to M2.

Fig. 3

a Anatomical projections from ACC to M2 were visualized using a genetically modified rabies virus system. One to two weeks after helper virus injection in M2 (a cocktail solution of AAV1-synP-FLEX-sTpEpB and pENN.AAV.CaMKII.0.4.Cre.SV40), rabies virus (RVΔG-4mCherry) was injected at the same coordinate. b A coronal section of the virus injection site in M2 (this is a magnified view of a region pointed by the red arrow in panel no. 4 in Supplementary Fig. 8a). Neurons infected by helper virus expressed GFP (coded in green in the image). Scale bar, 0.5 mm. c ACC neurons that were retrogradely infected with rabies virus expressed mCherry (coded in red in the image). Scale bar, 0.5 mm. d Projections from ACC to M2 were validated using AAVretro virus. Sagittal view of rat brain. Rats were injected with AAVretro-pmSyn1-EBFP-cre and AAV5-hSyn-DIO-hM4Di-mCherry viruses in M2 and ACC, respectively. e ACC neurons that were infected with AAVretro virus expressed mCherry (coded in red in the image) after Cre recombination. Scale bar, 0.5 mm.
