Evidence
Freeze-fracture replica immunolabelling showed ChR2-YFP-positive PIN/MGn terminals forming asymmetric synapses with AMPA- and NMDA-receptor-labelled postsynaptic specializations on spines and dendritic shafts of mu-opioid-receptor-positive ITC neurons; AMPA-R density was about 715 particles/um2 at spine synapses versus 590 at shaft synapses.
