The cross sectional area of As-type terminals is enlarged in MPTP-treated monkeys. (a) vGluT1-positive terminals were analyzed in control (N=3) and parkinsonian (N=3) monkeys in the VApc (Control, n = 87 terminals; MPTP, n = 179 terminals), with an average area of 0.23 μm2 in control and 0.56 μm2 in MPTP-treated animals, and CM (Control, n = 94 terminals; MPTP-treated, n = 78 terminals), with an average area of 0.28 μm2 in control and 0.73 μm2 in MPTP-treated animals. Data are expressed as meant± SEM. (Statistical difference was found using a Student T-test in the CM, ***p<0.001). (b-e) Examples of vGluT1-immunoreactive As-type terminals forming asymmetric axo-dendritic synapses in VApc or CM of control and parkinsonian monkeys. Scale bars: 500 nm.
