Abstract
Some, but not all synapses of chinchilla outer hair cells with terminals of the spiral afferent nerve fibers have presynaptic bodies which are often surrounded by a halo of synaptic vesicles. The variety of appearance of presynaptic bodies and vesicles may result from the conditions of fixation or may represent differences in functional state.
