From: Stimulation induces gradual increases in the thickness and curvature of postsynaptic density of hippocampal CA1 neurons in slice cultures

Fig. 3

Synaptic profiles sampled from stratum radiatum of the CA1 region of the hippocampal slice cultures under control conditions (a) and upon 30 s (b), 1 min (c), and 2 min (d) of NMDA treatment (50 μM). PSDs (arrows) showed progressive increases in thickness from a to d. Typically, under control conditions (a), the curvature of PSDs was negative, but gradually increased into positive values (with the postsynaptic element arching into the presynaptic terminal) upon NMDA treatment (b, c, d). Scale bar = 0.5 μm
