Electron micrographs of representative sample of synaptoneurosomes isolated from mouse hippocampus. (A) A typical large field view of synaptoneurosomes (2500×). Arrow indicates synaptic junctions. Mitochondria (m) also are present. (B) A close up view of a complete synaptoneurosome. (C) Higher magnification of the synaptic site where the presynaptic terminal displays vesicles and a postsynaptic membrane contains PSDs (25,000×). Synaptosome (S), presynaptic vesicles (pv), neurosome (N), and densely stained membranes that characterize PSDs (PSD) are shown.
