Nature Clinical Collection: Slowing down neurodegeneration As the articles in this Clinical Collection illustrate, approaches to preventing or arresting neurodegeneration can take many forms, from lifestyle changes aimed at preserving the integrity of the brain, to pharmacological treatments and immunological interventions targeted at specific neurodegenerative disease mechanisms.  Access the collection FREE online  Produced with support of a grant from Teva Pharmaceuticals
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Epigenetics: A lingering smell? p1 | doi:10.1038/nrn3660 Highly specific experiences can be inherited by subsequent generations, and this transmission occurs through parental gametes. PDF Behavioural neuroscience: The feminine touch dampens aggression p2 | doi:10.1038/nrn3651 Prior exposure to females suppresses sex-related aggression through a pheromone-based contact chemosensation mechanism. PDF Memory: A boost for medical marijuana? p2 | doi:10.1038/nrn3659 Cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors could be used to prevent at least some of the unwanted side effects of the marijuana component Δ9-THC without impairing its beneficial properties. PDF Learning and memory: Synapse remodelling extinguishes fear p3 | doi:10.1038/nrn3658 Fear extinction induces structural changes at inhibitory synapses in the amygdala to silence fear circuits. PDF Neural repair: Export duties for HDAC5 p4 | doi:10.1038/nrn3649 The nuclear export of histone deacetylase 5 triggers a regenerative transcriptional response after axon injury in peripheral neurons. PDF Sensory systems: Connecting olfaction p4 | doi:10.1038/nrn3652 Two new studies reveal that parvalbumin-expressing interneurons form extensive connections with mitral cells and tufted cells in the olfactory bulb and have an important role in odour processing.

Branch management: mechanisms of axon branching in the developing vertebrate CNS Katherine Kalil & Erik W. Dent p7 | doi:10.1038/nrn3650 To enable the complex neural circuitry found in vertebrates, many axons undergo extensive branching. Here, Kalil and Dent review the roles of extracellular cues, intracellular signalling pathways, cytoskeletal dynamics and neuronal activity in axon branching and terminal arbor formation in the vertebrate CNS.

Sensory neurons and circuits mediating itch Robert H. LaMotte, Xinzhong Dong & Matthias Ringkamp p19 | doi:10.1038/nrn3641 Itch — the sensation that induces the desire to scratch — results from activity in a subset of nociceptors, all of which also respond to painful stimuli. LaMotte and colleagues describe the studies that have begun to pinpoint the molecular transducers and neural pathways that transmit itch and the coding mechanisms that distinguish it from pain.

Axon-soma communication in neuronal injury Ida Rishal & Mike Fainzilber p32 | doi:10.1038/nrn3609 After nerve injury, signals from the lesion site must reach the nucleus in order to initiate the transcriptional responses required for regeneration. In this Review, Rishal and Fainzilber describe recent developments in our understanding of the molecular basis of this retrograde injury signalling system. Abstract | Full Text | PDF

OPINION Neurogenic neuroinflammation: inflammatory CNS reactions in response to neuronal activity Dimitris N. Xanthos & Jurgen Sandkuhler p43 | doi:10.1038/nrn3617 The combined actions of immune cells, vascular cells and neurons mediate a 'neuroinflammatory' response to pathogens, trauma and degeneration in the CNS. Here, Xanthos and Sandkuhler show that similar responses can be evoked by neural activity and describe the physiological and pathological roles of this 'neurogenic neuroinflammation'.

SCIENCE AND SOCIETY Article series: Neuroscience and the law Neurocriminology: implications for the punishment, prediction and prevention of criminal behaviour Andrea L. Glenn & Adrian Raine p54 | doi:10.1038/nrn3640 The neurobiological basis of violence and criminal behaviour is increasingly being recognized. Glenn and Raine review recent 'neurocriminology' studies and discuss whether and how this emerging field may influence the punishment, prediction and prevention of criminal behaviour.

Nature Collections  LIGHT-SHEET MICROSCOPY  The use of a planar sheet of light for illumination in light-sheet fluorescence microscopy allows researchers to image sample volumes faster than is possible with other current methods, while limiting light dosage. A collection of articles from Nature Methods, Nature Communications and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology provides a brief overview of this exciting imaging technology and the biological research applications that it makes possible. Produced with support from:  Carl Zeiss Microscopy
