Fig. 9.1A. A version of Fig. 9.1 in which components of the neuropil have been colored.
Neuropil in layer 5 of area 46 in a 30 year old monkey. In this field axon terminals are forming asymmetric and symmetric synapses with dendritic shafts and dendritic spines.
Axon terminals forming asymmetric synapses- light green; axon terminals forming symmetric, or inhibitory synapses- dark green; dendrites- blue; dendritic spines- grey; astrocytic processes- yellow. Profiles of axons have not been colored.
