Abstract:
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected into the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord of the rabbit. A lot of anterograde labeled terminals were observed in the contralateral dorsal accessory olivary nucleus. The synapses contacting these labeled terminals were studied with electron microscope. Most of the labeled terminals contained spherical clear vesicals, only a few of them contained flat or pleomorphic cIear vesicles. The labeled terminals were mainly in contact with dendrites, a few contacting with the perikarya. One of the labeled terminals containsd both round and flat clear vesicoles, presynapticto a dendrite and a perikaryonrespectively. It was notabte that a few of the labeled terminals were included in axon-axonal synapses and glumeruli. The functional meaning of these special structures was discussed tentatively.
