Cover picture: Pseudocolor image of the mushroom bodies in
the Drosophila brain expressing camgaroo-2, a calcium
indicator derived from yellow fluorescent protein. This image
highlights the neuropil areas that contain the axonal projections from
mushroom body neurons. The neuropil areas include the
lobe (the
ankle portion of the image), the heel, and the
,
', and
lobes
(the three toes in the image from bottom to top,
respectively). Camgaroo indicators supplied as transgenes were
used to monitor calcium concentrations in the mushroom body axons as
the neurons depolarize. Warmer colors indicate higher
concentrations of calcium as reported by the indicator. For details,
see the article by Yu et al. in this issue (pages 64-72).
