Distribution of different cell types in the neighborhood of identified NPY
(A, C, E) and cholinergic (B, D, F) neurons. (A) and (B) Schematic drawings
illustrating the location of the electrophysiologically and chemically identified
neurons. (C) and (D) Coronal view of the identified neurons embedded into
the same general region of the basal forebrain derived from a different
database that contains four different cell populations. Filled circles:
parvalbumin; up triangles: calretinin; down triangles: calbindin; squares:
cholinergic neurons. The approximate number of cell bodies from each cell
populations that can be found in the 3D volume of the single cell axonal
arbor is indicated below. (E), (F) Enlarged view of the boxes from (C) and
(D). Thicker, black indicates dendritic processes and thinner lines indicate
axonal ramifications. Note the small varicosities along the axonal collaterals
correspond to putative synaptic boutons. |
