Figure 1


Fig. 1. Cell morphology: development and function. (A) Retinal ganglion cells of an embryonic day/postnatal day mouse that express a fluorescent form of junctional adhesion molecule B. These cells are scattered over the retina with their dendrites aligned from dorsal to ventral (dorsal is uppermost). Axons stream down to the optic nerve (red arrowhead). Image courtesy of In-Jung Kim and Joshua Sanes (Harvard University, MA, USA). (B) An immature Purkinje cell and its dendritic arbor (left panel). Viewed orthogonal to the major axis of the arbor (right panel), dendrites are seen in two planar arrays (yellow arrows). Elimination of excess dendrites by an innervation-dependent mechanism leads to an arbor in a single plane. Image courtesy of Mineko Kengaku (Riken Brain Science Institute, Wako, Japan).
