Viral transneuronal tracing experiments:

The viral transneuronal labeling experiments followed the same protocol as described in a previous publication from our laboratory (39). Sprague-Dawley male and female rats (n = 60) were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg ip) and placed in a stereotaxic apparatus. The skull was leveled, and a craniotomy was performed. A glass micropipette (25-m tip diameter) containing a mixture of the Bartha strain of pseudorabies virus (PRV; K. Platt, Iowa State University, Ames, IA) and cholera toxin -subunit (CTb; 0.1% salt free; no. 103B, List Biological, Campbell, CA) was advanced into the NAc with a micromanipulator. A 40-nl injection of a mixture of the Bartha PRV (5 l; titer = 1 10⁸ plaque-forming units/ml) and 0.1% CTb (2 l) made in a 0.02 M potassium phosphate buffer was delivered over 15 min using a hand-held air pressure injection system. …

To evaluate the injection site, forebrain sections at the level of the NAc were reacted with a polyclonal goat anti-CTb (1:25,000, no. 703; List Biological), as described previously (39). …
