Fig. 2.2. Neuropil in layer 4 of the primary visual cortex in a 35 year old monkey. On the whole dendrites show little change in their morphology with age. But in a few cases, like the one shown here, the cytoplasm appears to have lost its organelles. Note that the dendrite is forming an asymmetric synapse (arrow).
