Cover picture: Schematic diagram illustrating the functional synaptic projections onto subplate neurons in neonatal rat somatosensory cortex. A typical subplate neuron in a coronal brain slice preparation is shown in blue after intracellular filling with biocytin and histological processing. Electrophysiological whole-cell patch-clamp recordings are shown in white and symbolize characteristic glutamatergic (GLU) synaptic input from the thalamus (yellow input from bottom) and from the cortical plate (yellow input from top). Within the subplate, GABAergic (in red) glutamatergic neurons project onto the subplate cell. For details, see the article by Hanganu et al. in this issue (pages 7165-7176).
