Cover legend
The mammalian inner ear is the sensory organ responsible for balance and hearing. The developmental processes required for its formation are complicated. The cover illustration depicts representative stages of developing mouse inner ear, from a simple cyst stage in embryos to the mature pattern at birth, visualized by filling the cavity of the inner ears with paint. For further details, see article by Bok et al., 521-533.
