Figure 2

Clasping cells (CCs). (A–H) Maximal z-projections of reconstructions of individual representative CCs with indicated surrounding glomeruli. The “parent glomerulus” is shaded for each cell (see methods). Darker shades indicate that the cell arborizes within the glomerular neuropil (A,C,D), whereas light shades indicate non-innervated parent glomeruli. Non-shaded structures are surrounding glomeruli, which the dendrites do not ramify in and which do not constitute the parent glomerulus. Green arrowheads indicate the position of clasped JGC somata. Most dendritic structures including cell body clasps do not ramify in the intraglomerular neuropil, with the exception of a few superficially entering branches, also including dense clasp-like bundles (A,C,D). R-VEN, VGAT-Venus+ cells in juvenile rats; R-FFN, FFN102+ cells in juvenile rats; M-FFN, FFN102+ cells in adult mice; M-GFP, DAT-GFP+ cells in adult mice.
