Damage on sensory organs results reduction of neuronal activity, and compensatory plasticity occurs to enhance neuronal activity in the sensory pathway. This is the cause of tinnitus, which is difficult to cure. If we introduce extrinsic gene in the whole sensory pathway, we may reduce the activity in the whole pathway. In this study, we examined the properties of avian adeno-associated virus (A3V) to test whether A3V is suitable to deliver genes in the whole sensory pathway or not. Based on the distribution of labeled cells, the transport direction of A3V is mostly anterograde, and infection spread anterogradely and transsynaptically to several synapses.
