| Research Abstract |
It has reported that there is a inhibitory synaptic transmission between pyramidal cells without action potential of inhibitory neurons in visual cortex. To reveal the ultrastructure for the inhibitory synaptic transmission, we analyzed the localization of AMPA and kainate receptors, which are related molecules to the inhibitory synaptic transmission using SDS-FRL technique. These receptors were localized in the postsynaptic sites of pyramidal cells but not the inhibitory synaptic terminals.
