p.767 right column top paragraph:"For a postsynaptic area of 0.03 to 0.1 (µm)^2 (primary sources), 100 receptors would imply a density of 1,000–3,300 receptors /(µm)^2 to which NMDA and metabotropic receptors must also be added." NMDA=N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid or N-Methyl-D-aspartate. AMPA=a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid |
