Nerve growth factor (NGF) was discovered more than five decades ago by Rita Levi-Montalcini while working at Washington University in Viktor Hamburger’s laboratory. It is a pleasure for us to contribute to the celebration of Rita LeviMontalcini’s 90 birthday with the publication of this issue of Microscopy Research and Technique. Her contribution to NGF research is outlined in a short biographical introduction written by her colleague Luigi Aloe (1999a) and her ideas on NGF actions at this moment are presented by her in her Preface. The Instituto of Neurobiología Santiago Ramón y Cajal of Madrid (Spain) has collaborated in this homage by contributing the photograph of Rita Levi-Montalcini receiving the Cajal Medal.
