Cover Illustration: Photomicrographs of embryonic zebrafish (20, 22, and 25 hours post fertilization) highlight the rapid development of this organism . During this time, the locomotor apparatus of the embryo is becoming functional. Zebrafish embryos exposed to nicotine exhibit a robust motor output which is mediated by activation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). In general, neuronal nAChRs are comprised of α and β subunits. For details, see the article of Menelaou et al . ( Activation of α2A‐containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors mediates nicotine‐induced motor output in embryonic zebrafish. Eur. J. Neurosci ., 40 , 2225–2240).
