title: Telodendrial contacts between foveolar cone pedicles in the human retina.
abstract: The synaptic pedicles of foveolar cones in the human retina contact each other by means of telodendrial processes. Thus direct lateral coupling of photoreceptor terminals exists even in the area of highest acuity function.
