Table 1. Quantitative analysis of synaptic appositions on the proximal and distal dendrites of GnRH neurons in diestrus female mice (N = 4).

For proximal dendrites, 60 µm of dendrite was measure in each case, whereas 15 µm lengths were examined for distal dendrites.

GnRH proximal dendrites
No. of dendrites counted	38
Percentage of dendrites with synaptophysin contact	95%
No. of synaptophysin contacts with GnRH dendrite	183
Synaptic density per 10 µm	0.8 ± 0.3
GnRH Distal Dendrites
No. of dendrites counted	211
Percentage of dendrites with synaptophysin contact	53%
No. of synaptophysin contacts with GnRH dendrite	330
Synaptic density per 10 µm	2.0 ± 0.2
