| Annotation description: | Electron microscopy of post-embedding immunogold-labelled Rat cerebellar tissue sections (from P5, P12 and adult) stained with an antibody specific for γ-actin. γ-actin was localized to both the presynapse and postsynapse, but was especially present in the dendritic spines. . |
