Electron stereoscopy as a means of classifying synaptic vesicles.
نویسنده
چکیده
In addition to the well known ' round' synaptic vesicles, 2 distinct types of ' flat' vesicle have been found by electron stereoscopy of aldehyde-fixed central nervous tissue. In the goldfish spinal cord presynaptic terminals are found which contain cylindrical vesicles, and others which contain disk-shaped vesicles. In the rat olfactory bulb no cylindrical vesicles are found; all the flat vesicles there appear to be disk-shaped.

Syntaxin 1 is expressed in the trout saccular hair cells: RT-PCR and immunocytochemical observations
Syntaxin is one of several proteins that may be involved in the docking of synaptic vesicles, synaptic vesicle recycling, and non-synaptic membrane trafficking. Presence of syntaxin has been reported in rat auditory and vestibular end organs. In the current study, we have examined the expression of message for syntaxin 1 in hair cells of the sacculus of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, w...

متن کاملAn Electron Microscopic Characterization of Classes of Synaptic Vesicles by Means of Controlled Aldehyde Fixation
Examination of variables of aldehyde fixation that may affect the shape of agranular synaptic vesicles has revealed that even brief storage of aldehyde-perfused nervous tissue pieces in cacodylate buffer, prior to hardening in osmium tetroxide, has an unusually severe flattening effect on agranular vesicles of a particular type. These are the vesicles of peripheral cholinergic axon endings, and...
متن کاملAnalysis of shape and spatial interaction of synaptic vesicles using data from focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM)
The spatial interactions of synaptic vesicles in synapses were assessed after a detailed characterization of size, shape, and orientation of the synaptic vesicles. We hypothesized that shape and orientation of the synaptic vesicles are influenced by their movement toward the active zone causing deviations from spherical shape and systematic trends in their orientation. We studied three-dimensio...

Background: Mediodorsal (MD) thalamic nucleus, which is considered to take place between extra pyramidal and limbic feedback circuit, receives projective fibers from ventrolateral neurons of reticular part of substantia nigra (SNr). In order to better understand the influence and chemical reaction of these fibers upon MD nucleus, the morphology and synaptology of them were examined in the prese...
