Fig. 5: Examples of tracings of smooth dendrites.
From: Tracing nerve fibers with volume electron microscopy to quantitatively analyze brain connectivity
Several examples of dendrites without dendritic spines (blue) from the stratum radiatum of the hippocampus (SR), and layers 1 and 3 of the somatosensory cortex (L1 and L3). Excitatory (green) and inhibitory (red) synapses have also been represented. Each tracing is identified by the region (SR, L1 or L3) followed by the identification number of the dendrite, and the linear density of synapses expressed in synapses per micron of dendritic shaft.
