On the Cover

Microphotograph of in vitro neuron cells after 7 days of growth and self-organization. At low cell densities (not shown), the cells are distributed uniformly over the substrate; at the higher cell density depicted, the cells spontaneously migrate to form a network of clusters connected by bundles of axons. (White scale bar = 500 microns.)
