Formation of synapses on the growth cones in human embryonic inferior ganglion of the vagus
Folia Morphol 2002;61(4):245-249.
Abstract
Ultrastructural study was performed on inferior ganglia of the vagus in human
embryos aged 7 and 8 weeks (developmental stages 18 to 23, 44 to 56 days). The
growth cones are observed between the bundles of axons of the inferior ganglia
of the vagus. Many primitive synapses (protosynapses) between dendritic and
axonal growth cones are observed.
