Abstract

Recent neurobiophysics experiments based on synchrotron spectromicroscopy indicated that aluminium is selectively accumulated by GABAergic neurons and glial cells rather than by granule cells. Does a similar cell specificity occur in the accumulation of other metals? We provide experimental evidence to the contrary: cobalt is found in granule cells at least with equal probability as in glial cells and GABAergic neurons. This result also confirms that neurobiophysics studies based on surface physics techniques have reached a stage of maturity.
