- Literal: "The ultrastructural investigation of dentate gyrus and CA1 and CA3 regions revealed α7 nAChR-LIR at synaptic sites in all hippocampal areas (Fig. 5). Gold particles were located mainly (1) at the postsynaptic density, (2) within the synaptic cleft, (3) in the postsynaptic cytoplasm (Figs. 5-7), "
