Annotation description:The electron micrograph (Fig. 2A) of MFC layer 2/3 at P18 shows immunogold labeling of Neurocan near the plasma membrane adjacent to a spine (Sp) and axon terminal.
Fig 2D shows Neurocan labeling adjacent to axon terminals (AT) at P18.
Fig. 2E depicts Neurocan labeling at neck of spine (Sp) and near excitatory synapses at P80.

The antibody specificity is confirmed in Fig. 2F.
