Area-specific synapse structure in branched axons reveals a subcellular level of complexity in thalamocortical networks

Abstract: 37Thalamocortical Posterior nucleus (Po) axons innervating the somatosensory (S1) and 38 motor (MC) vibrissal cortices are key links in the brain neuronal network that allows 39 rodents to explore the environment whisking with their motile vibrissae. Here, using 40 high-end 3D electron microscopy, we demonstrate massive differences between MC vs. 41 S1 Po synapses in a) bouton and active zone size; b) neurotransmitter vesicle pool size; 42 c) mitochondria distribution near synapses; and d) proportion of non-sp… Show more
