Extended Data Fig. 7: Size of synaptic contacts.

From: Automated synapse-level reconstruction of neural circuits in the larval zebrafish brain

Extended Data Fig. 7

a. Distribution of synaptic contact areas in different brain areas (n = 100 in each area). b. For the same synaptic contacts as in a, distribution of contact lengths as exposed in each intersecting slice. c. Examples of small synaptic contacts (20th to 30th percentile by area). Contact area in μm² indicated at the top, brain area at the bottom. d, e. Like c, for intermediate (45th to 55th percentile) and large (70th to 80th percentile) synapses, respectively. Scale bars: 250 nm. AF6: Retinal arborization field 6, TeO: optic tectum, vHb: ventral hindbrain, Th: thalamus.
