“…However, maturity of these neurons varies considerably in respect of resting membrane potential and capability of firing repetitive action potentials [11,13,14,25,28,30,[32][33][34]36,38,48,[57][58][59][60]62,73] [81]. Moreover, several studies strongly suggest the presence of functional synapses, as indicated by their response to excitatory or inhibitory neurotransmitters, as well as of spontaneous postsynaptic currents, and the ability to (partially) abolish synaptic activity with specific blockers [11,25,28,38,42,48,57,59,75,80]. In addition to electrophysiological experiments, the ability to form synapses was also investigated through immunocytochemical approaches showing colocalization of pre-and postsynaptic markers like synapsin 1, vGLUT1, or PSD-95 ( Table 2 [13,14,25,28,30,32,36,38,48,57,73,75]).…”
