title: [Contacts between dendrites in motor neurons of the cat diaphragm].
abstract: Three radial and one longitudinal bundles of phrenic motoneuron dendrites have been detected. The dendrites were found to have spines and appendages which formed touching contacts with each other. If, as believed, some descending respiratory pathways terminate on the bundles, the touching contacts seem to be a substrate of phrenic motoneuron synchronous activation.
