Abstract
Electron microscopic (EM) tomography is proving useful for examining the organization of protein molecules in large molecular machines at critical neural sites, such as synapses. Methods are still in a state of flux, and many steps exist between a neuron and a molecular model of one of its synapsesKeywords
