Cover Image: Human neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) reveal the complex cellular architecture achievable in modern disease modeling platforms. This fluorescence micrograph captures mature neurons (red, β3-tubulin) and GABAergic interneurons (green, GABA receptor) derived from a patient with familial Alzheimer's disease, illustrating the sophisticated cell types now routinely generated for neuropsychiatric research. Such advances underscore the importance of establishing rigorous validity standards for iPSC models, as discussed by Kolsters et al. in this issue (pages 27–33).
