Adult synapses

Both glutamate (Landsend et al., 1997 Rubio and Wenthold, 1997 Zhao et al., 1997, 1998 Toth and McBain, 1998) and GABA (Nusser et al., 1996a,b) receptors have been shown to be

5 nm gold was used for immunogold-labeling quantification with all the antibodies selective for the glutamate receptor subunits, except for GluR4 which was analyzed using 5 nm and 10 nm.
