image: Classical histopathological features of a glioma as designated with distinct staining techniques in the upper and lower panels, respectively. The tumor mass (left) is devoid of any neurons. The area of high tumor infiltration (middle) is a neocortical tissue infiltrated by 10 or more tumor cells per high-power field. The area of low tumor infiltration (right) is a neocortical tissue infiltrated by isolated glioma cells (fewer than 10 glioma cells per high-power field). Scale bars, 100 mm; 25 μm (insets). This image relates to a paper that appeared in the July 9, 2014, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by Dr. J. Pallud at Sorbonne Universités in Paris, France, and colleagues was titled, 'Cortical GABAergic excitation contributes to epileptic activities around human glioma.' view more
