The basis for differences in activity-dependent trafficking of AMPA receptors
(AMPARs) and NMDA receptors (NMDARs) remains unclear. Using single-molecule
tracking, we found different lateral mobilities for AMPARs and NMDARs: changes in
neuronal activity modified AMPAR but not NMDAR mobility, whereas protein kinase C
activation modified both. Differences in mobility were mainly detected for
extrasynaptic AMPARs, suggesting that receptor diffusion between synaptic and
extrasynaptic domains is involved in plasticity processes.
