Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Is Present in Dendritic Spines of Neurons in Primary Cultures

Nitric oxide exerts important regulatory functions in various brain processes. Its synthesis in neurons has been most commonly ascribed to the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) isoform. However, the endothelial isoform (eNOS), which is significantly associated with caveolae in different cell typ...
