Saturated Reconstruction of a Volume of Neocortex. (2015, positive): “…the axons that established synapses (mean 9.9 ± 6.6 m m synapsing versus mean 10.8 ± 5.18 m m touching), providing no support for the idea that inner-vating axons had a greater afﬁnity to grow along the central dendrite than axons that passed by but did not innervate it (Ste-panyants et al., 2004).”
