Retrograde neuronal labeling of cells of origin of descending brainstem pathways in rat using SITS as a retrograde tracer.
Recently, the retrograde tracer SITS has been introduced, a cytoplasmic label, which seems to be taken up by terminals only. In order to test the transport of SITS from terminals of brainstem pathways to he spinal cord SITS was injected in different rats at different spinal levels. It could be concluded that SITS is taken up primarily from axon terminals.
