Electron micrographs of CCK-IR axon terminals forming symmetric synapses in area 46 of monkey DLPFC. (A, B) A CCK-IR axon terminal (CCKt) forms a symmetric synapse (arrow) onto an unlabeled dendritic shaft (ud). Note that the dendritic shafts are varicose in shape and receive a synaptic input from another, unlabeled axon terminal (ut; arrow), which are morphologic characteristics of GABA neuron dendrites. (C) A CCKt forms a symmetric synapse onto a dendritic unlabeled spine (us). (D) A CCKt forms a symmetric synapse (arrow) onto an unlabeled soma (n = nucleus). Scale bars = 500 nm in all panels.
