Qualitative morphogenesis of synaptic glomeruli in the rat cerebellum.
The synaptic glomeruli of rat cerebellum was investigated at postnatal ages of 1 to 7, 9 and 15 days in an attempt to formulate a morphogenic analysis for synaptic junctional development, using the E-PTA stain for synapses. The synaptic junctions, which are composed of dense projection, intercleft density and postsynaptic band in synaptic glomeruli, were observed at a postnatal age of 6 days. Two types of synaptic junctions, symmetrical and asymmetrical, were recognized.
