Table 1.

Twenty numbered anti-Cx36-immunogold-labeled and grid-mapped gap junctions in adult rat hippocampus, with their anatomical locations, size ranges (number of connexons, if countable), and their associations with labeled and unlabeled glutamate receptor PSDs (as tight patches of 10-nm E-face IMPs) vs. dispersed 10-nm E-face IMPs that are thought to represent extrasynaptic or “reserve” receptors.

GJ location No. of GJs GJ size range GJs near E-face PSDs GJs near clusters of 10-nm E-face IMPs GJs on spines* GJs on MF axon terminals Dendrodendritic GJs GJs in unidentified cell pairs
Dentate gyrus 4 45–220 H19 H19 H19 0 0 H4, H5, H6
Hilus 3 49–325 0 H8, H9 H8, H9 0 0 H20
CA3 lucidum 6 50–330 H3 H22 H3, H18, H22 H1, H17 H2 0
CA3 oriens 5 150–1150 H10 H10, H13 H13 0 H12 H11, H21
CA1 oriens 1 490 0 0 0 0 0 H14
CA1 radiatum 1 492 0 0 0 0 0 H7

Also indicated are gap junctions where specific distinguishing features were not identifiable in either neuron. Some numbered gap junctions appear in multiple columns.

GJ, gap junction; size range, number of connexons, from smallest to largest; PSD, postsynaptic density; IMP, intramembrane particle; SVs, synaptic vesicles; *with the other cell not identified.
