On The Cover: Inhibitory synapses are specialized intercellular junctions between presynaptic neurons
that secrete the neurotransmitter GABA and selected neuronal targets whose activity
is thereby suppressed. This image captures the formation of synapses between axons
of GABAergic medium spiny neurons (in green) and a HEK293 cell expressing GABAA receptors (in blue) and fluorescent reporter mCherry (in red) in co-culture. For details see the article by Brown et al., pages 13926–13942....Show more
