Similar Basket cell innervation of Purkinje cells with and without developmental torpedoes. (A) We are analyzing the extent of Basket cell (BC) innervation on individual Purkinje cell somata, where BC = 1 is low, and BC = 5 is high innervation. Sample images showing representative Purkinje cells (green) innervated by Basket cells (labeled red for neurofilament) for low (BC = 1), medium (BC = 3) and high (BC = 5) innervation. Scale bar, 5 μm. (B) We traced torpedoes back to their parent Purkinje cell and measured the innervation of BC cells with and without a torpedo on their axon (Torpedo and axon, respectively). % of Purkinje cell with different basket cell innervation was similar in both cases. (C) The average Purkinje cell innervation by Basket cells was not significantly different when a torpedo was or was not present (Torpedo: N = 13; Axon: N = 13; not significantly different, Mann–Whitney U test, P = 0.92). ns P > 0.05.
