Hitchhiking on the neuronal highway: Mechanisms of transsynaptic specificity

This article will thus touch on three topics: First, how specific are the directional transmission patterns of these viruses? Second, what are the properties that confer synaptic specificity of viral transmission? Lastly, what can we learn from this specificity, and can we use it to devise better transsynaptic tracers?
