This is the first protocol demonstrating the successful co-infection of the corticospinal tract in neonatal rats. It provides an accurate blueprint to investigate how individual subpopulations of cells in young mammals contribute to the recovery f

This protocol demonstrates a novel method for applying gene therapies to subpopulations of cells in neonatal rats at postnatal ages 5-10 days by injecting an anterograde chemogenetic modifier into the somatomotor cortex and a retrogradely transportable Cre recombinase into the cervical spinal cord.
