References 32-34 used immunogold labelling of AMPARs to analyse quantitatively the AMPAR content at individual synapses in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, and found that a proportion of synapses contain no or very small numbers of AMPARs, thus providing anatomical support for the silent synapse hypothesis.
