Abstract
The distribution of glutamate receptors in the developing striatum of the rat was studied using antibodies specific to AMPA and NMDA subtype s. Immunocytochemistry revealed a greater density of GluR1, GluR2/3, N MDAR1, and NMDAR2A/2B receptors in patches that matched the patches of substance P-immunoreactive neurons and dopaminergic terminals. GluR1 immunoreactive patches were the most distinctive and were present alre ady at embryonic day 19.
