We examined the distribution of glycine receptors (GlyRs) in the rat glutamatergic calyx of Held nerve terminal using high-resolution pre-embedding immunoelectron microscopy. Increased densities of GlyRs were found in calyceal swellings where the receptors preferentially occupied membrane regions presumably accessible by ambient glycine. The sites with increased GlyR concentrations were found in swellings tightly juxtaposed with GABA/glycinergic nerve endings. Our results support the concept of an indirect mechanism underlying the modulatory effects of calyceal GlyRs.
