  We summarise recent results on the spectrum of ground-state and excited
baryons and their form factors in the framework of functional methods. As an
improvement upon similar approaches we explicitly take into account the
underlying momentum-dependent dynamics of the quark-gluon interaction that
leads to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. For light octet and decuplet
baryons we find a spectrum in very good agreement with experiment, including
the level ordering between the positive- and negative-parity nucleon states.
Comparing the three-body framework with the quark-diquark approximation, we do
not find significant differences in the spectrum for those states that have
been calculated in both frameworks. This situation is different in the
electromagnetic form factor of the $\Delta$, which may serve to distinguish
both pictures by comparison with experiment and lattice QCD.
