About the Cover
Cover picture: A series of confocal optical sections
through the synaptic terminal of a living bipolar
neuron from a goldfish retina, showing the locations
of synaptic ribbons (green dots). Ribbons were tagged
with a fluorescently labeled peptide that binds to the
protein RIBEYE, a major component of the ribbon.
Visualizing ribbons in living cells facilitates study of
ribbon function at synapses that release
neurotransmitter tonically. For details, see the article
by Zenisek et al. in this issue (pages 9752-9759).
