Abstrakt: The number of synaptosomes (pinched-off nerve endings) produced/g guinea pig cortex on homogenizing this tissue under defined conditions is estimated to be in the region of 4×1011 using two different polystyrene bead “tagging” procedures. This is the same order of magnitude as the number of nerve endings/g cortex calculated from histological estimates given in the literature of the number of neurones in the cortex and the extent of their cortical connexions.
