摘要
This chapter focuses on the use of electron tomography (ET) to study the chemical synapse. It discusses the different types of chemical synapses and their properties as well as the biological questions that are addressable using ET. We present methods for culturing neurons on a variety of substrates suitable for ET and discuss the development of novel tools that combine electrophysiological methods with ET methods for studying active synapses.
