The fine structure of both the afferent and efferent hair cell synapses in the sensory epithelium of guinea pig organ of Corti was examined by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. In the afferent synapse, barlike aggregates of intramembrane particles (IMPs) of about 10 nm in diameter were seen on the P-face of the afferent presynaptic membrane directly beneath the presynaptic dense projection which is located in the active zone of the presynaptic membrane. Small and large depressions have been seen on the presynaptic membrane. The former were observed in the proximity of the barlike aggregates, while the latter were observed some distance from the aggregate. In outer hair cells, IMPs of about 10 nm in diameter were seen on the P-face of the afferent postsynaptic membrane at a density of 3,000/microns 2. In the efferent synapse, many aggregates composed of from several to tens of large IMPs of 13 nm in diameter were observed on the presynaptic membrane. These aggregates were localized to small membrane depressions, which tended to be deeper as particle number per aggregate increased. Dense populations of IMPs of about 9 nm in diameter were observed on the P-face of the efferent postsynaptic membrane at a density of 4,000/microns 2. A fenestrated subsynaptic cistern completely covers the efferent postsynaptic membrane. Moreover, the subsynaptic cistern spans several efferent postsynaptic membranes when efferent synapses are gathered in a group. In the afferent and efferent synapses of hair cells, specializations of the synaptic membranes were represented by marked aggregates characteristic of IMPs. In the efferent synapse, IMP movement inside the synaptic membrane was proposed in relationship to retrival of synaptic vesicle membrane. Structural relationship between the subsynaptic cistern and efferent postsynaptic membrane was revealed.
