Fig. 1.6.35. Examples of wave-shaped synapses typically found on large dendritic spines of peritumorous human neocortex. Their convex parts are associated with synaptic vesicles, the concave vesicle-free parts are puctum adherens-like (asterisks) and the spine apparatus is usually directed to them. Scale = 500 nm. (Human, neocortex.)
