Subcellular localization of adenosine A1 receptors in nerve terminals and synapses of the rat hippocampus

Adenosine is a neuromodulator in the CNS that mainly acts through pre- and postsynaptic A1 receptors to inhibit the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and NMDA receptor function. This might result from a highly localized distribution of A1 receptors in the active zone and postsynaptic density o...
