Morphologic properties of neurons in the central lateral amygdala
| Soma length (μm) | Soma volume (μm3) | Number of primary dendrites | Number of nodes | Total dendrite length (μm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total (n = 8) | 15.6 ± 0.8 | 1117 ± 232 | 5.5 ± 0.4 | 13.2 ± 1.0 | 1389 ± 88 |
| Presynaptic (n = 4) | 14.4 ± 0.9 | 929 ± 354 | 5.2 ± 0.6 | 14.7 ± 0.6 | 1309 ± 152 |
| Postsynaptic (n = 4) | 16.9 ± 1.2 | 1304 ± 322 | 5.7 ± 0.5 | 11.7 ± 1.7 | 1469 ± 93 |
Values are the mean ± SEM. Four connected pairs (total of eight neurons) were recovered, and their morphologies were analyzed. When these properties were compared between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons, no significant differences were observed (Mann–Whitney test).
