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. |
