in Taylor et al.25 Nevertheless, small molecules that react with receptors specific to one neuronal subtype may still be investigated effectively. We may be able to lengthen diffusion time by tagging a molecule with a dextran (thereby increasing the diffusion coefficient), or by doubling the length of the channels, which quadruples the time for diffusion according to the equation for diffusivity ( l=4Dt).
