The rabies virus travels retrograde to the central nervous system (CNS) via **B. sensory neurons**. After entry into the body, the virus typically infects muscle cells at the site of entry and then binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on peripheral nerves. From there, it moves along the axons of sensory neurons to reach the CNS.
