## Abstract Using quantitative receptor autoradiography, we assessed binding site densities and distribution patterns of glutamate, GABA~A~, acetylcholine (ACh), and monoamine receptors in the hippocampus of 32βmonthβold Fischer 344/Brown Norway rats. Prior to autoradiography, the rats were divided
## Synaptic distributions of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and β£-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunits, NMDAR1 and GluR2, respectively, were examined by electron microscopy with the high spatial resolution of postembedding immunogold localization. We provide direct
## Abstract The levels of mRNAs for the subunits of Ξ±βaminoβ3βhydroxyβ5βmethylβ4βisoxazole propionate (AMPA)βselective glutamate receptors (GluRβ1, β2, β3, β4) in the rat hippocampus during aging were measured by Northern blotting. The distribution of these receptors was also examined at the protei
