Phenotype Peripheral Nerve Innervation Patterns

Use Case: Phenotype Peripheral Nerve Innervation Patterns

Connect brain and periphery: Discover how different molecularly-defined neurons come together to send signals from the brain to organs and from the organs back to brain by tracing the neuronal connections between them using viral, transgenic, or immunolabeling strategies.

Track disease progression: Follow the worsening or improvement of neurodegeneration in different models of motor neuron disease by evaluating the loss of maintenance of innervation.

Capture morphological diversity: Categorize sensory and motor nerve endings and infer their neurophysiological function based on the pattern or innervation with the organs they supply.
