Each punctum represents one or two closeproximity synapses.
In contrast, peripheral afferents constitute only 15% of total synapses.
The peri synaptic membranes were more deeply polarized when driven by clustered synapses, and least when driven by the unconfined distribution (second and third rows).
The most parsimonious explanation would be that no functional synapses were formed in the outer plexiform layer to allow for synaptic transmission in these mice.
This leaves the possibility of electrical synapses or a second type of transmitter.
Inhibitory synapses formed by inhibitory cells are shown by filled circles.
Output synapses include 25 dyads and 6 monads, ribbon synapses with a single postsynaptic element.
Thus, adverse postnatal experience could contribute significantly to disordered development; enriching experiences, on the other hand, could potentially facilitate survival of neurons and synapses.
