Non-synaptic chemical neurotransmission.
Images with apparently gemmulofugal polarity in the EPL of the olfactory bulb are the result of sectioning, along misleading planes, gemmulopetal synapses containing postsynaptic vesicles. Unless one accepts a bidirectional conduction for chemical synapses, the internal granule cells lack actual gemmulofugal synapses and the neurotransmitter contained on their vesicles must act at non-synaptic membranes.
