“…Moreover, other contributing mechanisms may include differences in the number, density, or subunit composition of NMDARs at these two synapses (Otmakhova et al, 2002;Nicholson et al, 2006). Previous data suggest that, in contrast to synapses in the MOB, a large number of AOB synapses are rich in the GluN2B subunit of NMDARs (Dani et al, 2010). Whether similar rules apply to AOB and CoA synapses on MeA neurons awaits future studies using dendritic recording (Andrasfalvy and Magee, 2001) or nanoscale imaging of labeled glutamate receptors at these synapses (Nicholson et al, 2006;Dani et al, 2010).…”
