When we study the structure of the chemical synapse, by default we come across Axo-dendritic synapse consisting of various cell adhesion molecules/receptors etc. (like this). However, I was particularly interested in dendro-axonic synapses. Does the picture of synapse applies to every type of synapse or are we only aware of the axodendritic synapse? I mean, do the same cell adhesion or signalling molecules also present in dendro-axonic synapse? If yes, What could be their possible influence on passing action potential? I went through literature, but I couldn't find any focusing on subcellular structure and distribution at dendro-axonic synapses.

$\begingroup$ What do you mean by "dendro-axonic" synapse? $\endgroup$– Bryan Krause ♦Commented Feb 19, 2021 at 16:03

$\begingroup$ This classification is based on the type of connection. Here, dendrites connect with the axon (axon post-synaptic) I found few mentions in literature such as sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0006899379909417 and onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/cne.901670204. $\endgroup$– Science123Commented Feb 20, 2021 at 0:39
