Publication Date: | 2004 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.brainres.2003.10.032 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/22547 | Abstract: | We used immunohistochemistry to localize vesicular glutamate transporters VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 in the rat lateral geniculate nucleus. The lateral geniculate nucleus is intensely immunoreactive for both transporters. Monocular eye removal abolished staining for VGLUT2 in a pattern corresponding to the distribution of terminals from the missing eye, without affecting distribution of VGLUT1 immunoreactivity. These data indicate retinal ganglion cells are the source of VGLUT2-containing synapses in the lateral geniculate nucleus. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Brain Research, 996(2), p. 251-254 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1872-6240 0006-8993 |
