In addition, progressive retraction and spine pruning in proximal basal dendrites may be related to ongoing disengagement from motor input and synchronizing retrograde projections, which may render vM1 less efficient to generate motor commands.
We show here with retrograde tracing that Cluster N receives input from the Gld suggesting that at least parts of Cluster N belong to the visual wulst.
Specifically, using retrograde transneuronal transport of viruses cerebellum inputs to AIP have been revealed [51] [54].
Retrograde fluorogold labelling has revealed glutamatergic inputs to originate from regions of the ventromedial and dorsomedial hypothalamus (Ulrich-Lai et al., 2011) and to co-exist with local interneurons within the PVN (Boudaba et al., 1997; Herman et al., 2002), in contrast to GABAergic inputs, which derive exclusively from peri-PVN regions (Bali et al., 2005).
Studies using dual retrograde tracers have examined the sources of input to the parts of M1 innervating the distal and proximal parts of the monkey forelimb (Tokuno and Tanji 1993) and hindlimb (Hatanaka et al. 2001).
As a result, our findings most closely match those reports using retrograde tracers that emphasize how the hippocampal prefrontal inputs arise from the prosubiculum and subiculum (Rosene and Van Hoesen 1977; Carmichael and Price 1995), with relatively few inputs from CA1.
We demonstrated the capacity of the brain to communicate with the spleen using pseudo rabies virus (PRV) retrograde tracing and showed that the spleen receives not only sympathetic input but also parasympathetic input of which the latter motor neurons are located in the brain stem.

This could be done fairly easily in a few naïve animals using retrograde tracers showing that their identified region receives inputs from multiple sensory regions, lateral posterior thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and contralateral PPC.
To visualize the monosynaptic inputs to dopamine neurons, we used a retrograde transsynaptic tracing system based on a modified rabies virus (SADΔG-EGFP(EnvA)) (Wickersham et al., 2007).
Retrograde tracing techniques show that the origin of spinothalamic inputs to VLp are separate clusters of interneurons sited in layers V and VII of the spinal grey matter (Craig 2008).
