| Abstract: | Synapse morphology on neurons of the rabbit amygdala was investigated in intact animals and after unilateral lobectomy. The pattern of distribution of synapses normally observed on the neuron surface is altered after disturbance of cortico-amygdalar connections. These changes cannot be entirely explained by degeneration of some afferents. The results support the view that one morphological form of synapse can change into another in the process of function.M.
