The symmetric synapse has a thin post-synaptic density, very similar to the pre-synaptic density, and it is located on the neck of a dendritic spine (d1). Scale bar, 500 nm. The advent of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the 1950s represented a fundamental step in the study of neuronal circuits.
