In red is a single dendritic spine and in the other colors are twelve axons that ‘touch’ this spine. Yet only one of these twelve axons (the yellow one, pointed out by the arrow) makes a synapse with this spine. Figure excerpt from Kasthuri et al. Cell 2015.

Panel A shows the various layers of cortical tissue imaged overall. Panels B and C show manual and automated segmentations of everything within a single section in the area reconstructed at highest resolution. Panel D shows a 3D rendering of the cell bodies and apical dendrites of two pyramidal neurons highlighted in the analysis—created by stacking together many single section images of the type shown in B and C. The multicolor cylinder near the pink arrow in D marks the small pieces of dendrite around which the highest resolution reconstruction was performed. (Note that the arrows in D correspond to the arrows in A, illustrating the ‘zoom-in’ to layer 5 of cortex.) Panel E shows a closeup of the cylinder highlighted in D, and panels F through N show all the parts within, from different types of axons and dendrites to pieces of glial cells.

In blue is an axon and in green a dendrite. The five orange dendritic spines show the multiple sites at which this axon and dendrite form synapses. The white arrows point to two axonal varicosities that synapse with other neurons’ dendrites (now shown). This is one of the more extreme examples in the dataset, highlighting how certain pairs of neurons preferentially form synaptic contacts with each other over other neurons—making many more synapses than would be expected if connectivity were based on axon and dendrite proximity alone.

Each red dot represents a deep brain (medial amygdala) neuron in a female mouse, and each blue dot an analogous deep brain neuron in a male mouse. The corners of the triangles represent the different odor cues tested (predator urine, male mouse urine, and female mouse urine). The position of each dot reveals the cell’s firing pattern. A dot in the center represents a neuron that is often “turned on” by all three stimuli, whereas a dot in one corner of the triangle represents a neuron that is usually “turned on” specifically by that stimulus. Clearly, neurons from adult females respond strongly to male odor cues and neurons from adult males respond more strongly to female odor cues. Juvenile mice, on the other hand, lack this sex-based difference.

The “y” represents the firing rate, or output of this neuron, and “m” is the combined strength of inhibitory inputs from neighboring cortical neurons. The hypothesis is that maturation of inhibition “turns” on the critical period for ocular dominance plasticity.
