Neuron Tracing

Caption

This image uses viral tracing to map connected neurons for an antagonistic muscle pair in a Bax-Bax double mutant adult mouse. Researchers report in the journal Neuron that molecular signaling from the Bax/Bak's pathway is important for maturing mice to develop synergistic connections between the brain and opposing muscle pairs.
