Abstract
Two new fluorescent retrograde neuronal tracers are reported: Nuclear Yellow (Hoechst S 769121), which mainly labels the neuronal nucleus; and Fast Blue (diamidino compound 253/50), which mainly labels the neuronal cytoplasm. Both tracers appear to be transported effectively over long distances in rat and cat.
