## Chapter 12/Figure 10.gif Back | Home | Next | Simulated data: Cortex (high power) This figure is at a higher magnification than Figure 9, to show the manner in which the afferents "home-in" onto and cluster around the dendrites and somata of some target cells. The tiny spots (arrows) on the target cells' somata and dendrites are ArborVitae's representations for synapses. An axon entering the field in the lower-left walks up the nearby dendrite, making contacts (1 to 5) on it at regular intervals until lit reaches the soma. Some post-synaptic cells have spines (visible, for instance, on the large dendrites in the upper center of the image.
