Summary illustrating the distribution of NR subunits across different domains of the T4 dendrites. The pattern of innervation of GABAergic, cholinergic, and glutamatergic input neurons matches the distribution of NR subunits (seeFigure 3). NR subunits may serve as specificity determinants, allowing presynaptic neurons to distinguish between different T4 dendritic domains. Alternatively, other spatial determinants, such as Mmd in T4, may recruit both NRs and presynaptic inputs to the same domain.
