- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedPerson and Raman (1) identify the conditions that allow Purkinje cells to control the timing of spikes (action potentials) in their target cerebellar nuclear neurons with millisecond precision. This is very exciting...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedBetween 5.7 million and 6.7 million bats have been killed by white-nose syndrome in North America since 2006, biologists agreed on 17 January, after a meeting of the Northeast Bat Working Group in Carlisle,...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedAn unusual feature of the cerebellar cortex is that its output neurons, Purkinje cells, release GABA ([gamma]-aminobutyric acid). Their high intrinsic firing rates (1) (50 Hz) and extensive convergence (2,3) predict...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedWhat is the best way for large research organizations to guide the expenditure of their funds? Governmental funding agencies, major philanthropic foundations and industrial firms bear a primary allegiance to those who...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedRadioactive material was stolen last week from a nuclear power plant being built in Egypt, highlighting the dangers of nuclear looting during social upheaval. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that low-level...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedTo harness quantum technology for applications such as computing and cryptography, researchers must develop materials that can emit single photons in response to electrical signals. However, existing approaches require...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedThe past week has seen several twists and turns along the road towards a truly open research literature. But the underlying questions have hardly been touched on: who needs whom to add what value to what literature, and...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedUS presidential elections do not tend to revolve around science. But thanks to the latest twist in the race for the Republican candidacy, the unusual topic of mining the Moon looks set to be up for discussion. Lunar...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedSocial networks show striking structural regularities (1,2), and both theory and evidence suggest that networks may have facilitated the development of large-scale cooperation in humans (3-7). Here, we characterize the...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedThe maximum salary that institutions can pay to a biomedical researcher out of a grant from the US National Institutes of Health has been cut by 10% to $179,700. The agency told grant recipients about the tightened...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedExercise benefits a variety of organ systems in mammals, and some of the best-recognized effects of exercise on muscle are mediated by the transcriptional co-activator PPAR-[gamma] co-activator-1[alpha] (PGC1-[alpha])....
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedBiodiesel firm Renewable Energy, based in Ames, Iowa, made the first US initial public offering (IPO) of 2012, raising US$72 million on 19 January. Companies hope to improve on 2011, which saw only 21 clean-energy IPOs...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedFrom the invention of the wheel to the stacking of cannonballs and the design of stealth aircraft, humans have long known that shape matters. On a much smaller scale, the shapes of molecules affect their ability to form...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedThe Science of Yoga: The Risks and the Rewards William J. Broad Simon & Schuster 336 pp. 16.63 [pounds sterling] (2012) Whether it is hatha, ashtanga or kundalini, yoga is swathed in hype. This ancient discipline...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedResearchers at Newcastle University, UK, have received 5.8 million [pounds sterling] (US$9 million) from the university and the Wellcome Trust in London to assess the safety of techniques that transfer genetic material...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedElucidating the principles by which neurons and neuronal circuits 'compute' remains a cardinal objective in neuroscience. Through an ingenious set of experiments, Person and Raman (1) describe one such computational...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedKeeper of the Nuclear Conscience: The Life and Work of Joseph Rotblat ANDREW BROWN Oxford University Press: 2012. 368 pp. 18.99 [pounds sterling], $29.95 The physicists who developed nuclear weapons...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 481, Issue 7382) Peer-ReviewedOur findings from a qualitative survey of patients, health-care providers, researchers and other members of the public in Switzerland support suggestions that the views of prospective tissue donors should be taken into...
