title: Tracing the auditory pathways to electrophysiologically characterized neurons with HRP and Fos double-labeling technique.
abstract: By combining HRP histochemistry with Fos immunocytochemistry, we demonstrate in this study that electrophysiologically characterized auditory neurons can be double-labeled with HRP and Fos after iontophoretic injection of HRP into the recording site. Neurons which projected fibers to the recording site were labeled with HRP and were Fos-like immunoreactive. This double-labeling technique in combination with electrophysiological recording offers the possibility to determine the fiber projections between sound-activated neurons which are identified either electrophysiologically and/or immunocytochemically.
