Cover picture: Presynaptic uptake of choline by the hemicholinium-3-sensitive choline transporter (CHT) is a critical step preceding neuronal acetylcholine synthesis. Consistent with this link between CHT function and neurotransmitter synthesis, CHT-specific antibodies stain presynaptic arborizations (red) that α-bungarotoxin-labeled nicotinic acetylcholine receptors clustered on the underlying muscle (green) at neuromuscular junctions of the mouse diaphragm.
