Viral tracers play a crucial role in studying neural circuits, but current options are limited in areas like retrograde transduction and astrocytic tropism. Here, the authors demonstrate that AAV11 function as a powerful retrograde viral tracer allowing for analyzing circuit connectivity and shows superior astrocytic tropism compared to the commonly used AAV vectors.
