Cellular and synaptic localization of EAAT2a in human cerebral cortex

Cellular and synaptic localization of EAAT2a in human cerebral cortex

We used light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical techniques to analyze the distribution, cellular and synaptic localization of EAAT2, the main glutamate transporter, in normal human neocortex. EAAT2a immunoreactivity was in all layers and consisted of small neuropilar puncta and rare cells....
