NeuronCompartmentPropertyConnectivityNotes
Hippocampus CA3 pyramidal GLU cellAxon terminalNMDA.Presynaptic terminal and axon NMDAR's have been found withimmunocytochemical techniques (Siegel SJ et al, 1994 [monkey]2 ). (DeBiasi S et al, 1996 [rat]3 ). (Paquet M et al, 1997 [squirrel monkey]1 ). Unlike postsynaptic NMDAR's, they are potentiatedby physiologically relevant concentrations of taurine (Suárez LM and Solís JM, 2006 [rat]4 ).
