  • Title: Ultrastructural studies of the primate parabigeminal nucleus: electron microscopic autoradiographic analysis of the tectoparabigeminal projection in Galago crassicaudatus.
    Author: Feig S, Harting JK.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1992 Nov 13; 595(2):334-8. PubMed ID: 1467974.
    Abstract:
    The normal ultrastructure of the parabigeminal nucleus and the morphology and synaptic relationships of tectoparabigeminal terminals have been examined. Five different morphological types of terminals have been observed within the parabigeminal nucleus. Three of these profiles contain round vesicles and make asymmetrical synapses, while two contain pleomorphic vesicles and make symmetrical synapses. Electron microscopic autoradiographic data indicate that labeled tectoparabigeminal terminals represent only one of the three profiles containing round vesicles. Such terminals are primarily presynaptic to dendritic shafts, and several labeled profiles have been observed presynaptic to the same dendrite.
