Caption: Molecular programs for neuronal development can unfold semi-autonomously, allowing these neurons from tiny pieces of embryonic brain tissue on a vast, alien culture dish to grow into elaborate forms.

Embryonic mouse neurons labeled with green fluorescent protein, with profusions of neurites extending outwards in swirls. Image captured on a confocal STORM microscope at 10x magnification. The neurons are nascent inhibitory interneurons within tissue explants microdissected from embryonic mouse brains and grown on top of a primary cortical culture for 8 days.
