Figure(s):Fig.3
Annotation description:Fig.3:
- "Immunoparticles for HCN1 along the extrasynaptic plasma membrane (e.g. arrows) of dendritic spines (s) and shafts (Den) establishing synapses with excitatory terminals"
- "Pre-synaptic HCN1 subunits in excitatory terminals were mainly located in the active zone (b)"

literal: "To determine if HCN1 subunits are located on EC synaptic terminals, we carried out electron microscopy studies using a pre-embedding immunogold method (see Methods). We counted 2752 particles in the medial EC from sections obtained from 3 wildtype mice. 72.2 ± 0.8% of HCN1 immunogold particles were observed along the extra-synaptic plasma membrane of dendritic shafts and spines (Fig 3a, e), confirming that HCN channels are largely present in EC dendrites. Interestingly, 27.8 ± 1.0% of immunogold particles were located at pre-synaptic sites (Fig 3b, e)."
