Confocal micrograph showing immunostaining of the presynaptic protein and indicator of synaptic density synaptophysin (green), and the dendritic (postsynaptic) marker Microtubule Associated Protein 2 (MAP2) (red) in layer V of the rat motor cortex. MAP2 is distributed along the dendrites of cortical neurons, whereas synaptophysin is localized in the synaptic terminals of afferent axonal fibers. Cell nuclei are also shown (blue).
