AMPA receptor subunit distribution in the hippocampus of C57BL/J6 mice

This dataset contains tables and histograms showing the density of labeling, expressed as number of immunoparticles per µm2 for individual subunits of AMPA receptors (GluA1, GluA2, GluA3 and panAMPA (GluA1-3)) along different compartments of the somato-dendritic domains of hippocampal neurons. We used cutting-edge experimental immunolocalization approaches, the SDS freeze-fracture labelling (SDS-FRL) in the hippocampus of 8 week-old C57BL/J6 mice. The dataset also contains electron microscopic images of the labelling obtained using specific antibodies for the above mentioned receptor subunits of the different neuronal compartments. Altogether, the data shows the precise subcellular localization of the individual subunit-containing AMPA receptors providing a map along the 2-dimensional surface of hippocampal neurons.
