Brain and Art (open access) Topic Editors: Idan Segev, Luis M. Martinez and Robert J. Zatorre ¦ Frontiers in Human Neuroscience In the last decade Neuroscience has made a huge jump in experimental techniques as well as in developing theoretical concepts and analytic tools for studying emergent properties in large neuronal networks. These bring us closer to understanding the unique capabilities of the Human brain to both create and enjoy art.  Find out how you can host your own Research Topic

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Learning and memory: To sleep, perchance to forget p737 | doi:10.1038/nrn3626 Specific emotional memories can be selectively manipulated during sleep by sensory stimuli. PDF Neurodevelopmental disorders: Super sonic p738 | doi:10.1038/nrn3611 A boost to sonic hedgehog signalling alleviates structural and cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Down syndrome. PDF Pain: A painful addiction p738 | doi:10.1038/nrn3619 Acute inflammatory pain can result in long-lasting central sensitization of spinal nociceptive pathways that is masked by upregulation of endogenous opioid signalling via the μ-opioid receptor. PDF Glia: Reprogramming the residents p739 | doi:10.1038/nrn3620 Resident astrocytes in the adult mouse brain can be reprogrammed to generate neuroblasts, which in turn can form functional neurons. PDF Cognitive neuroscience: Oxytocin and serotonin make it worthwhile p740 | doi:10.1038/nrn3610 The coordinated action of oxytocin and serotonin systems in the nucleus accumbens encodes social reward, shedding new light on the mechanisms underlying social dysfunction. PDF Neurodegenerative disorders: A PIR-fect storm p740 | doi:10.1038/nrn3616 Immunoglobulin-like receptor PIRB and its human homologue LILRB2 are high-affinity receptors for amyloid-β oligomers, and PIRB-amyloid-β interactions regulate synaptic plasticity. PDF IN BRIEF Repair: A new player in the regeneration game | Learning and memory: Time cells go with the flow | Adult neurogenesis: A granular generation gap | Synaptic physiology: The fast and the vesicle | Neuroimmunology: Targeting microglia | Neural development: Bone-to-brain signalling | Sensory systems: Juvenile pheromone stops sexual advances | Auditory system: Keeping the beat PDF Neuroscience JOBS of the week Lectureship in Neuroscience University of St Andrews Two postdoctoral fellowships @ IIT: reverse-engineering nervous system function in C. elegans Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) Postdoctoral Fellow Valeria Cavalli / Washington University in St Louis PhD - Computational modelling in Neuroimaging Leipzig University Hospital Research Associate x 2 (Fixed Term) University of Cambridge More Science jobs from Neuroscience EVENT Applied Neuroscience 2014 02.02.14 Utrecht, Netherlands More science events from

New technologies for examining the role of neuronal ensembles in drug addiction and fear Fabio C. Cruz, Eisuke Koya, Danielle H. Guez-Barber, Jennifer M. Bossert, Carl R. Lupica, Yavin Shaham & Bruce T. Hope p743 | doi:10.1038/nrn3597 The idea that learned associations are encoded within neuronal ensembles has so far mainly been based on correlational data. This Progress article describes recently developed approaches that can selectively target and study activated neuronal ensembles in models of addiction and relapse and in conditioned fear.

Molecular logic of neocortical projection neuron specification, development and diversity Luciano Custo Greig, Mollie B. Woodworth, Maria J. Galazo, Hari Padmanabhan & Jeffrey D. Macklis p755 | doi:10.1038/nrn3586 Understanding how each of the many diverse subtypes of neurons that make up the cortex are specified during development presents a continuing challenge for developmental neurobiologists. Macklis and colleagues describe recent advances in our understanding of the specification of cortical projection neuron subtype and area identity. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Modelling and analysis of local field potentials for studying the function of cortical circuits Gaute T. Einevoll, Christoph Kayser, Nikos K. Logothetis & Stefano Panzeri p770 | doi:10.1038/nrn3599 Local field potentials (LFPs) provide a wealth of information about synaptic processing in cortical populations but are difficult to interpret. Einevoll and colleagues consider the neural origin of cortical LFPs and discuss LFP modelling and analysis methods that can improve the interpretation of LFP data.

The neurobiology of psychopathic traits in youths R. James R. Blair p786 | doi:10.1038/nrn3577 Children with conduct disorder show persistent aggressive or antisocial behaviour and, in some cases, psychopathic traits. In this Review, Blair describes the neural and cognitive mechanisms — and their interaction with environmental factors — that underlie psychopathic behaviour. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
PERSPECTIVES		Top
SCIENCE AND SOCIETY Detecting awareness after severe brain injury Davinia Fernández-Espejo & Adrian M. Owen p801 | doi:10.1038/nrn3608 Brain imaging techniques have recently been able to reveal awareness and even allow rudimentary communication in some patients who have been diagnosed as being in the vegetative state. In this Perspective, Fernandez-Espejo and Owen discuss these developments and consider their diagnostic, judicial and ethical implications. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information
VIEWPOINT DSM-5 and RDoC: progress in psychiatry research? B. J. Casey, Nick Craddock, Bruce N. Cuthbert, Steven E. Hyman, Francis S. Lee & Kerry J. Ressler p810 | doi:10.1038/nrn3621 The classification of psychiatric disorders in the DSM has been influential in neuroscience research but has also been subject to criticism. In this Viewpoint, six leaders in the field discuss whether the latest version, DSM-5, as well as the dimensional approach provided by the RDoC, will move psychiatry research forward.
