Describe the main subject of this image.
P75NTR expression in the lesioned olfactory bulb: Olfactory bulb sections from sham and NMDA lesioned animals that were either estrogen or control-pellet replaced were probed for p75NTR expression and counter-stained with a nuclear dye (DAPI). A low magnification photomontage of olfactory bulb illuminated for DAPI is shown in (a). P75NTR is normally expressed in the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb (b), photographed from the region indicated by the solid line box in (a). P75NTR is poorly expressed in other regions of the olfactory bulb, an example of which is shown in (c), taken from the region indicated by the wire frame in (a). However, in a comparable region of the NMDA-lesioned animals, diffuse p75NTR staining is seen in cells and fibers at the injury site (d). In estrogen-treated, lesioned animals p75NTR immunoreactivity is seen in cells associated with the walls of microvessels (e; g), identified by their curved nuclei (f; h) surrounding a lumen. Arrows indicate the same cells photgraphed under fluorescein (p75NTR; e,g) or UV illumination (DAPI nuclear dye; f,h). A double-labeled cell photographed under both fluoresein and UV is shown in (i). P75NTR labeling was not seen in microvessel walls in lesioned animals that received a control pellet (j) or in sections from estrogen-replaced lesioned animals that were incubated without a primary antibody (immunohistochemical control, l). Corresponding nuclear dye images are in k and m. Magnification bar: b-d = 160 μm; e-m = 25 μm.

Δydr065w mutants are defective for vacuolar acidification. Wild-type (BY4743) and BY4743 Δydr065w cells were harvested in exponential phase, incubated with LysoSensor Green DND-189, and then examined by differential interference contrast (DIC) (left panel) and fluorescence (right panel) microscopy. Failure to accumulate the fluorophore indicates defective vacuolar acidification. Intact vacuoles in the mutant cells are apparent in the DIC image.

Effects of rTMS on BOLD Signals(A) rTMS effect on BOLD signals of a single participant detected pre-rTMS, post-rTMS, and 3 h after rTMS in the left SI ipsilateral to the rTMS site in the postcentral gyrus, and in the contralateral SII in the parietal operculum above the Sylvian fissure. Activations are projected on a rendered T1-weighted MRI dataset. Comparing pre- with post-rTMS fMRI sessions revealed enlarged activation and increased BOLD signal intensity in left SI ipsilateral to the rTMS site. These changes of BOLD signal characteristics recovered 3 h after termination of rTMS.(B) Psychometric functions illustrating the rTMS-induced improvement of discrimination threshold for the individual shown in (A). Correct responses in percent (red squares) are plotted as a function of separation distance together with the results of a logistic regression line (blue with blue diamonds). 50% levels of correct responses are shown as well as thresholds. Top graph, pre-rTMS; middle graph, post-rTMS condition, immediately after rTMS; bottom graph, recovery after 3 h.

What's the most prominent thing you notice in this picture?
Effects of rTMS on BOLD Signals(A) rTMS effect on BOLD signals of a single participant detected pre-rTMS, post-rTMS, and 3 h after rTMS in the left SI ipsilateral to the rTMS site in the postcentral gyrus, and in the contralateral SII in the parietal operculum above the Sylvian fissure. Activations are projected on a rendered T1-weighted MRI dataset. Comparing pre- with post-rTMS fMRI sessions revealed enlarged activation and increased BOLD signal intensity in left SI ipsilateral to the rTMS site. These changes of BOLD signal characteristics recovered 3 h after termination of rTMS.(B) Psychometric functions illustrating the rTMS-induced improvement of discrimination threshold for the individual shown in (A).

What is the core subject represented in this visual?
Double immunofluorescence labelling of normal and dcSSc skin biopsies. Cryosections from (a,c) normal and (b,d) dcSSc were double stained for endothelial cells using (a,b) PAL-E antibody and Thy-1 and (c,d) α-SMA and Thy-1. Thy-1 is labelled with FITC while PAL-E and α-SMA are labelled with Texas Red. In both (a) normal and (b) dcSSc, immunofluorescence for Thy-1 ((a,b) arrow, green colour) and PAL-E ((a,b) arrowhead, red colour) was consistently exclusive and showed no colocalization. In both (c) normal and (d) dcSSc, strong colocalization between Thy-1 and α-SMA was evident ((c,d) arrows, yellow colour). In normal skin, Thy-1 immunofluorescence that did not colocalize with α-SMA was observed immediately adjacent to microvessels ((c) arrowheads, green colour). Cryosections from dcSSc were double stained for (e,f,g) ED-A FN and α-SMA and (h) ED-A FN and Thy-1. ED-A FN is labelled with Texas Red while α-SMA and Thy-1 are labelled with FITC. Cell nuclei are counterstained blue with DAPI. Colocalization between α-SMA and ED-A FN was detected in dermal fibroblastic cells ((e) arrows, yellow colour) as well as in the microvascular wall ((f,g) arrows, yellow colour). Colocalization was also observed between ED-A FN and Thy-1 in both the microvascular wall ((h) arrow, yellow colour) and in dermal fibroblastic cells ((h) arrowheads, yellow colour). Original magnification (a-d,h) × 10, (e,f) × 20, (g) × 40. α-SMA, alpha smooth muscle actin; DAPI, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; dcSSc, diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis; ED-A FN, ED-A splice variant of fibronectin; FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate.
