Left: An example image of a filled PV interneuron showing putative autapses with white arrows. Note that all autapses are present in close distance to the soma. Right: Pie charts depicting the percentage of cells showing (1) both structural and physiological autapses, (2) no structural nor physiological autapses, and (3) only structural autapses. Note that only mice that underwent juvenile demyelination have PV interneurons which show structural autapses but no autaptic response.

Super interesting article. Having recently stumbled inadvertently into the area of #axon #growth / #myelination, I am amazed by how little we know... or am I looking in the wrong place?
