Back Cover : Planaria are an important model system for understanding regeneration and behavior. The effects of ion channel drugs, which modify the bioelectrical signals cells use to cooperate during construction and repair of complex anatomical structures is studied. The image shows the path of a planarian superimposed on a circuit board, to highlight the use of computer‐controlled platforms to study planarian memory during regeneration, and the emerging field of work targeting ion channel dynamics to reprogram the software of life. This is reported by Nina N. Ferenc and Michael Levin in article 1800237 .
