Furthermore, early findings indicated that the topographic organization of hippocampal mossy fibers (neuron extensions that terminate in mosslike branchings) was affected by developmental alcohol exposure (West et al.

Almost round, they have a bur or mosslike fringed cap that covers at least half the nut--sort of an acorn with a bad hair day.
