About the Cover
Cover Picture: The vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2
is a novel synaptic vesicle marker that is selective for the terminal fields of a distinct set of excitatory pathways in the CNS. Here, double-immunofluorescent staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy reveal VGLUT2-positive synapses (red) onto
MAP2-positive dendrites and neuronal perikarya (green) in
the ventral horn of the rat spinal cord. For the complete
characterization of the pathway-specific, complementary expression of
the two different vesicular glutamate transporters, see the article by
Varoqui et al. in this issue (pages 142-155).
