Abstract
The olfactory system of mammals, and the olfactory bulb (OB) in particular, provides a rich repository of new synapses. In the OB, new synapses are being formed continuously and are eliminated in high numbers relative to other regions of the mammalian central nervous system. The relatively high rate of synaptic turnover comes from several neuronal sources. Both the axonal inputs and the local interneurons are being formed continuously to replace older cells and synapses. These sources add to the normal maintenance and plastic demands of any neuronal circuit. In this chapter, some of the current knowledge regarding synaptogenesis in the olfactory system is reviewed. The topics treated include the basic architecture of the underlying neural circuits, the main synaptic types that turn over, some of the mechanisms that may be responsible for replacing large numbers of synapses, and their functional implication.

Experimental NeurologyDendrodendritic synaptic pathway for inhibition in the olfactory bulb
686 Citations1966Wilfrid Rall, Gordon M. Shepherd +2 more
Anatomical and physiological evidence based on independent studies of the mammalian olfactory bulb points to synaptic interactions between dendrites that mediate mitral-to-granule excitation and granule- to-mitral inhibition, and these dendrodendritic synapses could provide a pathway for both lateral and self inhibition.

These findings suggest that in the inner plexiform layer of the frog: bipolar terminals synapse primarily with amacrine processes; (2) amacine processes synapse extensively with the processes of other isacrine cells; and (3) ganglion cells are driven primarily by the amACrine cells.

312 Citations1969Raymond D. Lund
An electron microscopic study has been undertaken of the upper layers of the superior colliculus, into which run fibers from the retina and visual cortex, which indicates that optic terminals are especially dense near the surface and that they are often the presynaptic terminal of a serial synapse.

Large, calyciform axonal endings were examined with the electron microscope in chinchillas, rats, and a cat after perfusion fixation with osmium tetroxide and were found to consist of elongated processes arising from myelinated axons and making multiple synaptic contacts with perikarya and dendrites.

The ventrobasal complex of the cat thalamus has been studied by light and electron microscopy and it is likely that the various synaptic types represent differences in the sites of origin of the parent axons giving rise to these synapses.

189 Citations1970Edward V. Famiglietti
Dendro-dendritic synapses have been found in the three major laminae of the lateral geniculate nucleus of the cat and it was postulated that one of the dendrites belongs to a hitherto unidentified ‘Class V’ cell, and the other to a geniculo-striate relay cell.

The dendrodendritic endings of the Golgi type II neurons continue to grow in the adult cat and possibly these cells are involved in the evolution of cortical functions and in the plastic changes of neural activities that modify behavior.
