The Connecto-Vir operational platform offers the neuroscience scientific community the opportunity to explore neuroanatomy in mammals (rodents and non-human primates) using neurotropic viral vectors (derived from the rabies virus) and auxiliary vectors (AAV, etc.). These anatomical studies combine a range of experimental approaches, including the use and injection of viruses, histological processing of tissues, light microscopy and image analysis. To carry out neuroanatomy projects, we collaborate with Neuro-VIR and INPHIM. Within our community, a large number of teams are carrying out neuroanatomy projects, and Connecto-Vir regularly organises information and working meetings with the various players
