Figure 5. Relative synaptic and extrasynaptic GluA4, NR1, NR2A, and NR2B subunit levels in epileptic stargazer thalamus.

Figure 5

(a) Representative composite images of cropped GluA4, NR1, NR2A, and NR2B immunoblots with markers Pan-Cadherin and PSD-95. (b) Scatter-column combination charts depicting the expression of GluA4 and GluA2, as well as NR1, NR2A, and NR2B subunits in the synaptic membrane fraction of E (epileptic, n = 4 from 4 litters) stargazer thalamus relative to NE (non-epileptic, n = 6 from 4 litters) controls after normalization to Pan-Cadherin (*p ≤ 0.05, ** ≤ 0.01). (c) Scatter-column combination charts depicting the expression of GluA4 and GluA2 subunits in the extrasynaptic membrane fraction of E (epileptic, n = 4 from 4 litters) stargazer thalamus relative to NE (non-epileptic, n = 6 from 4 litters) controls after normalization to Pan-Cadherin (p > 0.05). Scatter-column combination charts depicting extrasynaptic to synaptic GluA subunit ratios in NE controls and E stargazers (** ≤ 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05).
