Figure 18.

Three-dimensional reconstructions showing principal neuron dendritic arbor structure in the rhesus macaque medial central nucleus. A: Appearance of the dendritic arbors from a rostral viewpoint. B: Appearance of the dendritic arbors from a dorsal viewpoint. C: Appearance of the dendritic arbors from a lateral viewpoint. The color coding indicates individual dendritic trees. The arbors are less tortuous relative to comparable cells in the lateral nucleus and have much more limited branching, and the dendritic terminations do not cluster. Cell locations are indicated in the center inset. The green dendritic tree in cell 2 is an example of a long dendrite extending into the medial nucleus. Only dendrites and the cell body are illustrated; axons are not included. Scale bar = 100 μm.
