Summary

Automatic Translation

Automatic Translation

The protocol demonstrates that by performing microtransplantation of synaptic membranes into Xenopus laevis oocytes, it is possible to record consistent and reliable responses of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid and γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.
