Abstract	Several different neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels exist in non-random distributions in the membrane of nerve and muscle cells, a pattern which appears to have functional implications. The data presented here, based on the distribution of single channels in outside-out patches, directly demonstrate that receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and their associated chloride channels (GABAA receptors) exist almost exclusively in clusters in the membranes of cultured rat cortical neurons. This non-uniform distribution is present both in innervated and uninnervated neurons.
