Density of vertical filaments and AMPARs at the periphery of the PSD

Vertical filaments/0.1 μm2AMPAR structures/0.1 μm2Vertical filaments nearest neighbor (nm)
Control (N = 4)304 ± 5671 ± 1616 ± 4
Knockdown (N = 5)195 ± 45*48 ± 16*28 ± 7**

  • The density is an area 125 nm wide and 100 nm thick surrounding the central cluster of NMDAR-type structures.

  • ↵*p < 0.03,

  • ↵** p < 0.0001, two-tailed Student's t test.
