Terminal structures (putative synaptic knobs) on neuronal fiber branchlets
in the neuropil of the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica
Micrograph taken by ER Lewis, YY Zeevi and TE Everhart, 1968.
At this time, our dissections were carried out on unfixed tissue and frequently
resulted in broken neural fibers. We found that the broken ends of small-diameter
fibers consistently resealed themselves. We presumed that this accounted for the
blind ends in this micrograph.
