A living nerve cell (neuron) on a glass coverslip is imaged by confocal microscopy during early stages of its development (time is in hours and minutes). The cell sends out a number of minor processes (neurites) that undergo a series of dynamic extension and retraction events until one neurite eventually grows out and becomes the axon, which connects the neuron to other cells. Fivaz et al., Current Biology 18(1), 44-50.
