Cortical synapses of the world’s smallest mammal: an FIB/SEM study in the Etruscan shrew

2022-06-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The main aim of the present study was to determine if synapses from the exceptionally small brain of the Etruscan shrew show any peculiarities compared to the much larger human brain. This study constitutes the first description of the Etruscan shrew synaptic characteristics using Focused Ion Beam/Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB/SEM). We analyzed the synaptic density and a variety of structura...
