1. Neuron: Pyramidal cell
-Dendritic spines: the little “thorns” on the creepy ominous neuron tree which are points of
synaptic contact b/w neurons
-Neuronal cell body of pyramidal cell: looks triangular
-FYI: axons don’t have spines, but dendrites do

2. Neuron: Pyramidal cell
-Dendritic spines (D)
-Axon (A)
-You can distinguish between them because axons don’t have spines,
but dendrites do
*from demo on blackboard
sites of synaptic contact with other neighboring neurons

3. Neuron: Pyramidal cell
-Cell soma of pyramidal cell (1)
-Apical dendrite (2)
-Basal dendrite (3)
-Initial portion of axon (4)
-Cell soma of neuron in the striatum(5)
-Dendrite with spines (6)
*from demo on blackboard

4. Terminal Boutons -(Black arrows)
-Terminal Boutons are the terminal knobs that synapse w/ other cells, while
Boutons en Passant (buttons in passing) are found along the axon.
