- 1From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAlthough the hippocampus is essential for the maintenance of recently learned memories, evidence indicates that other brain regions later take over this role. However, whether the hippocampus is involved in a more subtle...
- 2From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAdenosine promotes sleep, but its cellular source is unclear. To determine whether astrocyte-derived adenosine regulates sleep, the authors used transgenic mice in which astrocytic gliotransmission was suppressed. Sleep...
- 3From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedConsolidated memories can re-enter states of transient instability following reactivation, from which they must again stabilize in order to persist, contradicting the previously dominant view that memory and its...
- 4From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedA neuron's firing rate results from the integration of synaptic and modulatory inputs. Previous theoretical and experimental studies have concluded that neurons can perform both additive and multiplicative operations on...
- 5From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedRecent developments in the quantitative analysis of complex networks, based largely on graph theory, have been rapidly translated to studies of brain network organization. The brain's structural and functional systems...
- 6From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWe recently proposed, in collaboration with five professional magicians, that neuroscientists and magicians should join forces in the study of human perception and cognition (Attention and awareness in stage magic:...
- 7From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo a large extent, progress in neuroscience has been driven by the study of single-cell responses averaged over several repetitions of stimuli or behaviours. However, the brain typically makes decisions based on single...
- 8From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe protein complexin interacts with the SNARE (soluble NSF-attachment protein receptor) complex and regulates neurotransmitter release. Two groups have analysed the molecular structure of complexin and conclude that its...
- 9From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIt is assumed that the changes in blood flow measured during functional brain-imaging studies reflect changes in neural activity. Two recent studies that directly measured blood flow, blood oxygenation and neural...
- 10From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe evolutionarily highly conserved peptide oxytocin has been implicated in many social behaviours, and in non-human mammals it is crucial for social recognition. Here, the authors show that an oxytocin nasal spray...
- 11From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedGood sleep is necessary for physical and mental health. For example, sleep loss impairs immune function, and sleep is altered during infection. Immune signalling molecules are present in the healthy brain, where they...
- 12From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedResting-state functional connectivity as measured by functional MRI (fMRI) generally correlates with structural connectivity as measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Here, the authors performed resting-state fMRI...
- 13From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMood, attention and motivation co-vary with activity in the neuromodulatory systems of the brain to influence behaviour. These psychological states, mediated by neuromodulators, have a profound influence on the cognitive...
- 14From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCan 'virtual' experiences influence real-world behaviour? During a virtual cycling race subjects received nice- or nasty-tasting fluids in conjunction with the appearance of cyclists wearing jerseys with particular...
- 15From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe recent suggestion that we attempt to identify areas of mutual interest to scientists and magicians (Attention and awareness in stage magic: turning tricks into research. Nature Rev. Neurosci. 9, 871-879 (2008)) (1)...
- 16From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedProlonged exposure to loud noise can damage the inner ear, causing hearing loss and tinnitus. A new paper by Elgoyhen and colleagues shows that an efferent feedback pathway can dampen this effect, providing insights into...
- 17From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCutting down calories has obvious physical benefits. Now, a study in PNAS shows that it might also improve memory. People who ate 30% fewer calories than usual for 3 months ended up with better-verbal memory than they...
- 18From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedFollowing CNS injury, in an apparently counterintuitive response, scar tissue formation inhibits axonal growth, imposing a major barrier to regeneration. Accordingly, scar-modulating treatments have become a leading...
- 19From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAxon-guidance proteins are essential for the development of the nervous system. Here, the authors screened a chick cDNA library and identified draxin as a novel protein that is transiently expressed during chick and...
- 20From: Nature Reviews Neuroscience. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedNature Reviews Neuroscience 9, 813-825 (2008) In the above article, an important reference was omitted and appropriate credit was not given fort he first observation of silent synapses by laser-evoked glutamate...
