“…The fraction of Glut þ boutons onto JO motoneurons (and JC motoneurons; Paik et al, 2011) did not change during development. The developmental changes of excitatory synaptic transmission in the CNS are well documented: the duration and amplitude of EPSP (Oswald and Reyes, 2008;Feldmeyer and Radnikow, 2009), the subunit composition of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, and their contribution to excitatory synaptic transmission all decline during development (Carmignoto and Vicini, 1992;Hestrin, 1992;Kalb et al, 1992;Hori and Kanda, 1996), and the expression of AMPA, NMDA, and group I and II metabotropic glutamate receptors is temporally and spatially regulated, including in the trigeminal motor nucleus (Turman et al, 1999(Turman et al, , 2000(Turman et al, , 2001(Turman et al, , 2002Ishihama et al, 2005;Ishihama and Turman, 2006).
