PMID-10660885[0] Single-axon tracing study of neurons of the external segment of the globus pallidus in primate.
- wow, check out the computerized tracing! the neurons tend to project to multiple areas, usually. I didn't realize this. I imagine that it is relatively common in the brain.
- complicated, tree-like axon collateral projection from GPe to GPi.
- They look like the from through some random-walk process; paths are not at all efficient.
- I assume these axons are mylenated? unmylenated?
- dendritic fields in the STN seem very dense.
- study done in cyno. rhesus
