Annotation description:The figure shows the synaptic co-localization of eIF4E with synapse in hippocampal neurons (P2; 14 DIV), furthermore eIF4E colocalize with PSD-95, postsynaptic marker.

- Literal: "The mTOR-positive regions were observed in the dendritic shaft in a diffuse pattern that extended into synaptic regions (Fig. (Fig.33Al). Consistent with the notion of postsynaptic localization of these proteins, double labeling with PSD-95 showed the signals from eIF-4E, 4E-BP1, and mTOR at synaptic regions almost completely overlapped with PSD-95 signals."
