About the Cover
Cover picture: Top, Pseudocolor image of
in situ hybridization for platelet-activating factor (PAF)
receptor in the adult rat hippocampus. The gray-scale image of the
dark-field photomicrograph was converted to a color image with the
scale shown. The red spots (the most intense signals) are
scattered randomly, corresponding to the distribution of microglia.
Bottom left, Ca imaging of the rat microglia treated with
PAF. Bottom right, Ca imaging of rat hippocampal culture
treated with PAF. The responsive cells were identified as neurons by
immunocytochemistry. For details, see the article by Mori et al. in
this issue (pp. 3590-3600).
