The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An Integrated Micro- and Macroarchitectural Analysis of the Drosophila Brain by Computer-Assisted Serial Section Electron Microscopy (2010, background): “Due to the small size of synapses and terminal neurites (0.1–0.5 µm), structural aspects of microcircuitry can be conclusively analyzed only electron microscopically. Traditionally, the acquisition and analysis of complete series of TEM sections required a considerable effort; as a consequence, stud”
Synaptic structure, distribution, and circuitry in the central nervous system of the locust and related insects (2002, background): “For some neurones, the number of contacts constituting a synapse may be as low as a few tens (Meinertzhagen, 1989) but more often this lies in the range of several hundreds if not thousands of synaptic contacts (Burrows et al., 1989; Simmons and Littlewood, 1989; Watson and Burrows, 1983).”
