Cover picture: In homage to the classic high-speed photographic studies of the human figure in motion by Eadweard Muybridge, a sequence of frames taken from the animations used by Thompson et al. (this issue) is shown. The superior temporal sulcus responds preferentially to an intact body configuration (top rows) when we observe a human figure walking, as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging. If this configuration is broken apart (bottom rows), activation shifts to parietal cortex as if the movements of individual body parts were objects moving independently of one another. See the article by Thompson et al. for details (pages 9059-9066).
