Figure 3. Differential synaptology of vGluT1- and vGluT2-labeled terminals in the patch and matrix compartments.

Figure 3

VGluT1-positive terminals within the patch and matrix and vGluT2-positive terminals within the matrix formed significantly more axo-spinous synapses than axo-dendritic synapses (*, p<0.05), whereas vGluT2-positive terminals within the matrix compartment contacted dendritic shafts and spines at similar proportions (A). The differential synaptic innervation patterns of vGluT1- and vGluT2-labeled terminals in the compartments are summarized (B, C). n=number of terminals. Error bars are SEM.
