The morphological characteristics of Class III, Golgi Type II neurons are analyzed in Golgi impregnations of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the cat with special attention given to the complex dendritic appendages of these cells, the multilobed dendritic terminals. In addition, electron microscopic studies demonstrate the presence of presynaptic dendritic (ID) terminals as major components of synaptic glomeruli. Electron microscopic analysis of serial thin sections confirm the dendritic origin and the complex, multilobed nature of these terminals. An hypothesis is proposed identifying the ID terminal with the multilobed dendritic terminals of light microscopically identified Class III cells and the IA terminal, the “peripheral axon” of the glomerulus, with the axonal endings of all Golgi Type II cells.
