Retrograde labeling of RGCs

RGCs were retrogradely labeled following a previously described procedure.17, 18 Briefly, after rats were deeply anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate (4 mL/kg), 1% cholera toxin B subunit (CTB, List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA, USA) was injected into the bilateral superior colliculus (2 µL each site, 6.0 mm posterior and 2.0 mm lateral to the bregma, 5 mm deep from the cortical surface). Rats were killed after 5 d of survival and an anti-CTB antibody was used to detect CTB labeled RGCs. …

For mice:

We have developed highly sensitive retrograde labeling of facial motor neurons for mice along with CMAP recordings. This method not only labels motor neurons, but also sensory afferent fibers to the trigeminal nuclei [21]. Materials are listed in Table 4.
