Endogenous GluR1-containing AMPA receptors translocate to asymmetric synapses in the lateral amygdala during the early phase of fear memory formation: an electron microscopic immunocytochemical study.

Omission of the primary antibody in the incubation buffer resulted in labeling only 1 asymmetric synapse out of over 200 asymmetric synapses encountered from multiple brains of the paired, unpaired, and naïve animals, indicating that the PEG procedure was specific. This elimination of immunolabeling at asymmetric synapses was confirmed for every LA tissue examined in the current study (n = 12).
