About the Cover
Cover picture: Increased
[Ca2+]i in ganglion cells of isolated rabbit
retina in response to treatment with 50 µM nicotine.
Calcium imaging was made possible by loading ganglion cells, by direct
injection into retina, with calcium green-1 conjugated to molecular
weight 10,000 dextran. The typical response to nicotine, denoted by
pseudocolor coding blue to green, was a 40-60%
increase in fluorescence intensity over baseline
(
F/F). Intensity increases of >60% are
pseudocolored yellow. Intensity changes of <40% are
pseudocolored purple to blue, and changes of
<10% are not coded (black). See the article by Baldridge
in this issue (pp. 5060-5072).
