Golgi impregnated medium spiny neurons in the tree shrew dorsal striatum. (A–C) General view of medium spiny neurons of the tree shrew striatum showing the classical morphology of this type of neuron. Details of dendrites and dendritic spines are shown in (D) for the boxed area shown in (B), and in (E) for the boxed area shown in (C). Note the presence of a high density of dendritic spines of different morphologies in these dendrites. Scale bars: 100 μm in (A); 50 μm in (B–C); 25 μm in (D–E).
