Figure 1 An electrical synapse. Mauthner cell (MC) axon terminal forming electrical/mixed synapse onto initial unmyelinated segment of axon from commissural local (CoLo) neuron, before the axon decussates to innervate motor neurons on the contralateral side. ESD = electrical synapse density (asymmetric); ? = not yet determined if this is a mixed synapse, with synaptic vesicles and post-synaptic receptors. Modified from [18].
