Chromatin is decondensed in subsynaptic nuclei at the NMJ. Electron microscopy of subsynaptic (A) and extrasynaptic (B) areas of Tibialis anterior muscle of 5-week-old OF1 male mice. The electron density of subsynatic nucleus (SN) located just beneath the nerve ending (NE) appears lower than that of the extrasynaptic nucleus (EN). This is directly correlated with the higher chromatin condensation in ES nucleus. Scale bar, 2 mum.
