Visualizing the distribution of synapses from individual neurons in the mouse brain.

BACKGROUND:Proper function of the mammalian brain relies on the establishment of highly specific synaptic connections among billions of neurons. To understand how complex neural circuits function, it is crucial to precisely describe neuronal connectivity and the distributions of synapses to and from...
