A single IMB and 7 DB cells had a total of 39 invaginating contacts with P41, whereas 4 BB cells had 43 invaginating contacts with P39. Therefore the invaginating contacts outnumbered the ribbonsFrontiers in Neuroanatomy | http://www.frontiersin.orgOctober 2016 | Volume ten | ArticleTsukamoto and OmiMacaque ON Bipolar Cell ConnectivityFIGURE 5 | Abundance in the 3 positional classes of synaptic contacts more than the entire cone region for each ON bipolar cell form. A group of ON bipolar cells on the similar form shows a characteristic distribution of contacts with cone pedicles. Three positional classes of contacts with cones are invaginating (hexagons), TA (rectangles), and NTA (ellipses). Contacts with rods are only noted for GB. Twelve pedicles (22, 28, 30, 31, 32, 36, 38, 41, 46, 47, 48, and 51) for IMB, DB, and GB, and six S-cone pedicles (15, 26, 34, 39, 94, and 118) for BB, designated in gray, are used for get in touch with analysis per cone in Figures 6D,E.Frontiers in Neuroanatomy | http://www.frontiersin.orgOctober 2016 | Volume 10 | ArticleTsukamoto and OmiMacaque ON Bipolar Cell ConnectivityFIGURE six | Summary of dendritic synapse measurement.
