Method
electron microscopy
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Freeze-fracture replica immunolabelling showed ChR2-YFP-labelled thalamic terminals forming asymmetric, AMPA receptor-containing synapses onto spines and dendritic shafts of mpITC neurons identified by mu-opioid receptor labelling on face-matched replicas.
Measurements
  • synapse count: 98, n = 4
  • synapse count: 109, n = 4
  • synapse count: 88, n = 4
