AMPAR-mediated and NMDAR-mediated EPSCs as a function of the distance from the release site at diffusion coefficients = 0.1 μm2/ms-1 and 1 μm2/ms-1.

(A)AMPAR-mediated EPSCs to a single pulse at a diffusion co-efficient of 0.1 um2ms-1. (B)AMPAR-mediated EPSCs to a single pulse at a diffusion co-efficient of 1 um2ms-1. (C)NMDAR-mediated EPSCs to a single pulse at a diffusion co-efficient of 0.1 um2ms-1. (D)NMDAR-mediated EPSCs to a single pulse at a diffusion co-efficient of 1 um2ms-1. For a higher diffusion coefficient AMPAR mediated EPSCs scaling as a function of receptor locations was noticeably more significant than with a diffusion coefficient = 0.1 um2ms-1. However NMDAR mediated EPSCs scaling as a function of receptor location was only observed at a higher diffusion coefficient 1 um2ms-1. (PDF)
