Histochemical tracer
A histochemical tracer is a compound used to reveal the location of cells and track neuronal projections. A neuronal tracer may be retrograde, anterograde, or work in both directions. A retrograde tracer is taken up in the terminal of the neuron and transported to the cell body, whereas an anterograde tracer moves away from the cell body of the neuron.

gollark: TuberOS is the "version name" for current potatOS.
gollark: TuberculOSis? It seems too similar.
gollark: Anyway, what should I replace "TuberOS" with?
gollark: Happy chicken, jakedacatman!
gollark: In any case, any recent potatOS and probably some not so recent ones *will* just autoupdate to the latest version - PotatOS Tau, 6.2 TuberOS, build fc886ddf.
