CA3 Axo-axonic
* indicates new v2.0 neuron type
Name Supertype (ID:Family:Type:Subregion)
CA3 (i)22232 Axo-axonic S110902:Perisomatic-targeting:Axo-axonic:CA3

Name derivation
The phrase "chandelier cell" has fallen out of use. CA3 distinguishes these cells from axo-axonic cells in other subregions.

Synonym(s)
CA3 AA
CA3 AAC
CA3 axo-axonic cell

    "FIG. 2. Two axo-axonic cells {CA3 Axo-axonic} in the CA3 area (AA[axo-axonic]2, AA3), reconstructed from four sections (80 [micro]m thick each). (A) The multipolar cell body of AA2 was located in stratum pyramidale. The dendrites ran in all directions in a horizontally elongated field, primarily in stratum oriens. Two primary dendrites penetrating stratum lucidum were cut. The axon arbor of the cell occupied the lower half of stratum pyramidale and the adjacent part of stratum oriens of the CA3a and b areas. (J3) The cell body of AA3 was located in stratum lucidum next to stratum pyramidale. The dendrites ran horizontally turning towards strata oriens and radiatum. The axon arbor was rather large, spread from CA3a to CA3c. and was slightly more superficially located than the arbor of AA2 but sparsely spread into stratum oriens. In CA3c the axon cloud became rather loose, similarly to the pyramidal cells. Here the characteristic rows of boutons are discernible. The inset on the left (on this and the subsequent figures) shows axons from a single 80 [micro]m thick section to illustrate the relative laminar position and bouton density. s.l., stratum lucidum; s.P., stratum pyramidale. Scale: 100 [micro]m."
