Cortical Presynaptic Boutons Progressively Engulf Spinules As They Mature
Charles Campbell, Sarah Lindhartsen, Adam Knyaz, Alev Erişir, Marc Nahmani
This study uses electron microscopy to show that synaptic spinules in ferret visual cortex increase in prevalence with age, mostly originating from postsynaptic spines and adjacent boutons, and are not correlated with sensory activity or plasticity onset.
