Axo-axonic synapses exist on neuron terminals in the mammalian brain similarly to Aplysia
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 80/100
Axo-axonic synapses are well-documented on neuron terminals and axon initial segments in the mammalian brain, functioning analogously to presynaptic regulatory mechanisms found in invertebrates like Aplysia.
