The concept of neurotransmitter identity, once considered singular and immutable for mature neurons, has been broadened by the recognition that many neurons release multiple neuro-active substances. In order to demonstrate the extent of neurotransmitter co-expression, we labelled neuronal nuclei wit...
This project studies the differential abundance of proteins at excitatory synapses of PDGF-hSyn mice (Masliah et al., 2000, Science), which are a model for Parkinson’s disease/dementia with Lewy bodies. The mice overexpress human alpha synuclein under the human PDGF promoter. Synapses were purified ...
