Anti-synaptophysin antibody labeling was graded within a localized cochlear region. a: Low-magnification image of adult inner ear tissue labeled with anti-GluR2/3 (brown) antibody sectioned to include an elongated region of neurons that spanned the cochlear contour. Inset: Average anti-synaptophysin antibody density levels measured from neurons within the upper (b, n = 20), center (c, n = 25), and lower (d, n = 18) white boxes. b–d: High-magnification images of neurons demarked by white boxes in a showing the subtle increase in anti-synaptophysin antibody staining intensity in more apical neurons compared with basal ones within a single cochlear turn. Scale bar = 25 μm in d (applies to b–d).
