The labeled axons of neurons intracellularly injected with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the rat subthalamic nucleus (STH) were studied with electron microscopy. The main axons and the efferent daughter branches were all myelinated. The morphology of the intrinsic axon terminals within STH was obscured by the dark HRP reaction products, but the labeled efferent STH terminals in the substantia nigra (SN) were revealed to contain small oval vesicles and formed asymmetrical synapses with dendrites of SN neurons.
用电子显微镜研究了在大鼠丘脑底核(STH)中细胞内注射辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)的神经元的标记轴突。主要轴突和传出子分支均有髓鞘。丘脑底核内固有轴突终末的形态被辣根过氧化物酶的深色反应产物所掩盖,但在黑质(SN)中标记的丘脑底核传出终末显示含有小的椭圆形囊泡,并与黑质神经元的树突形成不对称突触。
