Cover Picture: A hippocampal autaptic neuron grown on a drop of polylisine and collagene and double immunostained, after 18 days in vitro, for the vesicular glutamate trasporter VGLUT-1 (green) and the synaptic vesicle phosphoprotein synapsin I (red). See Chiappalone et al. 2009. Opposite changes in glutamatergic and gabaergic transmission underlie the diffuse hyperexcitability of synapsin i-deficient cortical networks. Cereb Cortex 19(6): 1422–1439.
