Post-Synaptic Density
Postsynaptic β2∗ nAChRs initially depolarize DA neurons, causing them to fire action potentials while presynaptic α7∗ nAChRs boost glutamate release. PubMed:17009926

Simultaneously, activity of postsynaptic (and somatic) α 4 β 2 * nAChRs depolarizes DA neurons leading to enhanced action potential firing (Zhang et al., 2009). PubMed:26472524

We observed a similar LTPinduced increase in tau content within the PSD-enriched fraction from CA1 synaptosomes (29.86 +-4.86 to 70.15 +- 4.86, **p = 0.0011; Fig. 3B). As expected, actin and GluA1 were also increased, strengthening the idea that tau is involved in synaptic reorganization processes necessary for synaptic plasticity PubMed:24760868
