Annotation description:Fig.2: "Endophilin 2, 3 and Arc Localize to Post-synaptic Sites with GluR1 in Hippocampal Neurons"
- "Arc immuno-EM gold particles were present throughout the spine but were enriched over the postsynaptic density (PSD) where they appeared at, or very near, the plasma membrane (Figure 2B)."
- "Consistent with EM localizations, Arc protein localized in DIV 21 hippocampal primary neurons to dendrites with puncta in spines, and colocalized with both the AMPAR subunit GluR1 and endophilin 3 (Figures 2C)."

Supplemental Figure S4A: "Arc and Endophilin Associate with Endosomes in Neurons"
- "When Arc was expressed individually, the transgene accumulates in dendrites with a uniform, dispersed distribution, and shows enrichment in dendritic spines (Supplemental Figure S4A)"
