Ultrastructural data derived from 74 “local” and 79 “distant” axonal boutons sampled from five identified CRet+ SPF cells in four animals. Post-synaptic compartments: sp, dendritic spine; sh, dendritic shaft; cb, cell body; ais, axon initial segment; ?, uncertain profile identity (dendritic spine v fine-caliber dendritic shaft). All boutons formed A-type synaptic junctions.

**

All post-synaptic targets were CRet immunonegative (CRet-).

“sh/sp” ratio: Local = 2.14; Distal = 3.73.

°

Many of the axodendritic contacts (91/103 = 88%) were onto fine-caliber sparsely spine-bearing dendritic shafts; 12% onto smooth dendritic shafts.

Three separate cell bodies innervated. All somata received A- and S-type inputs.
