Excitatory and inhibitory cortical neurons form in cortical neuron co-cultures. Multiplex immunocytochemistry followed by Z-stack confocal microscopy images of cortical neuron co-cultures at distinct timepoints (Day 40, 70, 90). (A) VGLUT1 (glutamatergic neurons and their synapses), SST (somatostatin interneurons) and PV (parvalbumin interneurons). (B) MAP2 (neuronal dendrites) and TBR1 (cortical neurons). Scale bar = 50 μm, ×40 magnification. (human (iPSC-derived cortical neurons); Figure 4, full figure.)

Normal hnRNP K staining and cell morphology in different neuronal populations. Pyramidal neurons exhibit the retention of hnRNP K in the nucleus across most brain regions. To illustrate normal hnRNP K staining patterns in pyramidal neurons, under normal physiological conditions, hnRNP K has a strong nuclear and minimal cytoplasmic presence within the neurons, which can be observed across all brain regions. The composite includes Purkinje cells (cerebellum), dentate nucleus, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, hypothalamus, midbrain nuclei, brainstem and spinal cord neurons. (human (post-mortem brain sections, various regions including cerebellum Purkinje cells); Figure 1, full figure.)

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) of neurons in the entorhinal cortex (ENT) of a patient with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Three distinct Lewy body (LB) morphologies are shown: compact fibrillar, pale-core, and loose fibrillar ultrastructures within neuronal cell bodies. The neuronal perikaryon, nuclear envelope, and organelles are visible alongside the proteinaceous inclusions. (human (post-mortem entorhinal cortex, dementia with Lewy bodies); Figure 1.)

Transmission electron microscopy of synaptic boutons (SBs) in layer 1 (L1) of the human temporal lobe neocortex (TLN). Panel A shows the superficial part of L1a composed of a dense network of mostly unmyelinated axons, dendritic processes, and synaptic boutons. Asymmetric (excitatory) synapses with post-synaptic densities (PSDs) and presynaptic vesicle pools are visible alongside mitochondria and cytoskeletal elements within the neuropil. (human (post-mortem temporal lobe neocortex, layer 1); Figure 2, A.)
