Figure 7. Arbors with large areas and free endings (LA-FE).
(A) High magnification images at five Z-planes (left to right, superficial to deep) of LA-FE (A12-9). (B) Arbor LA-FE (A12-36), showing Z-planes with superficial (left) and inner (right) layers. A distinct inner arbor is in focus in the right panel. (C) Tracings of the full arbor of LA-FE (A12-36) (left), and its inner arbor alone (right). (D) Relationships between arbor area, number of axon branch points, and axon length for seven traced LA-FACE arbors, with separate analyses for the inner arbor and full arbor. Note that the axon length scale extends to 1 m.
