[Quantitative changes in the ultrastructural elements of presynapses exposed to low-intensity laser radiation within
Abstract:
The ultrastructure elements of presynaptic terminals (PT) in a dorsal horn of cat spinal cord were studied morphometrically in norm and after helium-neon laser irradiation. The disperse computer analysis showed changes in a median terminal radius, the number and localization of synaptic vesicles, and no changes in the shape and length of the plasmalemma profile of the irradiated PT.
