Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified five NMDA receptor subunits, which exhibit distinct cellular expressions in the normal rodent brain. The purpose of this investigation is to clarify the molecular-anatomical organization in the cerebellum of the reeler mutant mouse, in which various categories of the Purkinje cells are present as to the cell position and synaptic connectivity. In comparison with the distribution of...
