Cover

Cover: Side panels, top to bottom: nerve stimulation-evoked calcium signals in nerve terminals of the frog neuromuscular junction before (left) and after (right) application of the spider toxin ω-Ptx-IIA. The images show relative Ca²⁺ levels before, during, and after 60 Hz nerve stimulation. See Figure 3 in article by Troncone et al. Center panel: photograph of the Brazilian armed spider (Phoneutria nigriventer) in attack posture. The venom of this formidable predator contains many poisonous components including ω-Ptx-IIA which acts on calcium channels and can block synaptic transmission.
