RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Cell biology of the neuron: Balancing capture and release p455 | doi:10.1038/nrn3543 The balance between the aggregation and dissociation of presynaptic proteins during their trafficking regulates presynaptic patterning. PDF Synaptic transmission: Keeping calcium contained p456 | doi:10.1038/nrn3527 Chui et al. reveal a novel mechanism by which activity-evoked calcium transients in dendritic spines are regulated in a highly compartmentalized manner by somatostatin-expressing interneurons. PDF Neuronal circuits: Foraging for interneurons p456 | doi:10.1038/nrn3544 Parvalbumin-expressing interneurons and a subtype of somatostatin-expressing interneurons in the anterior cingulate cortex have different network effects and behavioural correlates. PDF Behaviour: Epigenetically bonded p457 | doi:10.1038/nrn3537 A histone deacetylase inhibitor triggers pair-bonding in female prairie voles in the absence of mating. PDF Neurodevelopmental disorders: When more is less? p458 | doi:10.1038/nrn3528 Increased levels of Down syndrome cell adhesion protein, a common feature in Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome, cause synaptic targeting errors and impaired perception of mechanical stimuli in flies. PDF Neural coding: Timing is key in the olfactory system p458 | doi:10.1038/nrn3532 A new study shows that temporal coding is involved in the transmission of information from the olfactory bulb to the cortex. PDF Epigenetics: Keeping it in the family p458 | doi:10.1038/nrn3536 Paternal exposure to stress influences offspring stress responsiveness, probably through changes in the microRNA content of sperm.

Acid-sensing ion channels in pain and disease John A. Wemmie, Rebecca J. Taugher & Collin J. Kreple p461 | doi:10.1038/nrn3529 Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) have been implicated in pain, and neurological and psychiatric disease. Wemmie et al. provide an update on the roles of ASICs in health and disease, and consider the implications for therapy and future lines of research. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
The histaminergic network in the brain: basic organization and role in disease Pertti Panula & Saara Nuutinen p472 | doi:10.1038/nrn3526 The histaminergic neuromodulatory system has important roles in in the regulation of cognition, sleep and wakefulness, and feeding and energy balance. In this Review, Panula and Nuutinen briefly explore histamine's physiological functions before focusing on its roles in various brain disorders. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information
Uncertainty and anticipation in anxiety: an integrated neurobiological and psychological perspective Dan W. Grupe & Jack B. Nitschke p488 | doi:10.1038/nrn3524 In order to anticipate and prepare effectively for future experiences, the brain must cope with the inherent uncertainty of future events. In this Review, Grupe and Nitschke show how alterations in the processes by which the brain deals with future uncertainty may contribute to the development of pathological anxiety.

Cognitive and emotional control of pain and its disruption in chronic pain M. Catherine Bushnell, Marta Čeko & Lucie A. Low p502 | doi:10.1038/nrn3516 Chronic pain is associated with changes in brain structure and function resulting in altered cognition and affect. Bushnell et al. examine the mechanisms underlying the psychological modulation of pain and the potential of mind-body therapies to alleviate chronic pain. Abstract | Full Text | PDF

SCIENCE AND SOCIETY Article series: Neuroscience and the law The influence of neuroscience on US Supreme Court decisions about adolescents' criminal culpability Laurence Steinberg p513 | doi:10.1038/nrn3509 The changes that occur in the brain during adolescence have been a topic of increasing interest in the past decade. Steinberg discusses how progress in adolescent brain research has influenced US Supreme Court decisions in three landmark cases about the criminal culpability of adolescents.
