Capsicum flexuosum, a South American hot chilli pepper with berry-sized fruits that can survive Canadian winters. This one was only 8 months old when freezing temps arrived and it is sprouting new leaves. Planted on the sidewalk for the community to enjoy/suffer from.

Inject an AAV into entorhinal cortex that expresses GFP and Tau. To study synaptic spread of Tau into the downstream dentate gyrus you look for cells that have Tau alone. Except all of the cells shown here in the dentate also express GFP, which means they were directly transduced.
