- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Axonal profiles stained for human alpha-synuclein appeared in the periaqueductal gray of high-expressor rats 18 weeks after the protein had been expressed exclusively in medullary neurons, indicating transfer along fibres linking the periaqueductal gray with the medulla.
