Abstract:We used biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) to anterogradely label individual axons
projecting from primary somatosensory cortex (S1) to four different cortical areas in
rats. A major goal was to determine whether axon terminals in these target areas
shared morphometric similarities based on the shape of individual terminal arbors and
the density of two bouton types: en passant (Bp) and
terminaux (Bt). Evidence from tridimensional reconstructions of
isolated axon terminal fragments (n=111) did support a degree of… Show more
