Retinal slices documented predominantly axonterminal responses; isolated cells revealed mainly soma-dendritic responses.
These values are underestimates of the real coverage, since small axonterminal processes out of the focal plane were also eliminated during the procedure.
The sizes of cell body, dendritic field, and axonterminal were also converted to the diameter of circles with equivalent area.
The ratio (number of black pixels) 0 (number of total pixels) gave us a value for the relative coverage of the axonterminal system.
However, when the gap junctions are blocked, the axon of the injected cell and the entire axonterminal are labeled.
Our approach to monitor axonterminal activity in retinal slices leaves cellular and synaptic contacts around the investigated terminals intact.
In addition, there was no easy correlation when the morphology of the dendrites was factored in with that of the axonterminal arborizations.
Such facilitation may be helpful in the retina, where consistent depolarization of the photoreceptor axonterminal is necessary to maintain glutamate release in the dark.
The sublamina with the highest density of axonterminal is next to the ganglion cell layer and receives input from 32 cells.
Of 68 labeled processes, 63% originated from narrow "fingers" of cytoplasm extending from the presynaptic axonterminal into the postsynaptic cleft.
This is particularly true for axonterminal contacting two or even three postsynaptic elements simultaneously (shared synapse).
The concentration of agonists refers to the concentration in the pipette, but the actual concentration at the bipolar cell axonterminal was slightly less.
First, the activity of the axonterminal increases sharply when the inhibitory input is blocked with bicuculline although no specific stimulus was applied to the retinal tissue.
The three chosen ranges agree with the limited published data examining the axonterminal size of rabbit bipolar cell types identified through either immunoreactivity or dye injection.
H1 axonterminal from the retinal periphery, 5.9 mm temporal to the fovea, focus on the terminal branches of the axonal arbor.
This provided an efficient way to demonstrate the general morphology and stratification pattern of the bipolar cell's axonterminal and served as an excellent analytical tool.
In the retina, consistent depolarization of the photoreceptor axonterminal in the dark is necessary to maintain the tonic release of glutamate from the synaptic ribbon.
H1 axonterminal from retinal midperiphery, 3.2 mm temporal to the fovea.
Nine different types were distinguished based on their dendritic morphology and the position of the axonterminal in the inner plexiform layer.
