Fig. 2.

Presynaptic dense body (PDB) distribution across the width of the basilar papilla. Nonserial thin sections (70–90 nm) were used to construct cross-sectional montages at each of three cochlear positions. The histograms represent number and location of PDBs (as measured from the neural edge of the papilla) counted in 18 montages at 0.3 mm, 18 montages at 1.0 mm, and 22 montages at 2.0 mm from the apex. Tracing of a representative montage from the 1.0 mm region is included for reference (top of figure: PDBs are shown as black dots and are not drawn to scale). PDBs were concentrated toward the neural edge of the papilla.
