RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS   Top Neurodegenerative disease: Tackling tauopathy p1 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.163 A reduction in the level of T cell intracellular antigen 1, an RNA-binding protein, was protective for tau-induced neuronal death in a mouse model of tauopathy. PDF Neurodevelopmental disorders: Misreading social smells p2 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.157 Individuals with ASD demonstrate altered behavioural responses to chemosensory social cues. PDF Behavioural neuroscience: Regulating roaming p2 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.165 Among isogenic Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, some individuals show biases in aspects of foraging behaviour that persist over development, and this individual-level variation in behaviour is subject to neuromodulatory regulation. PDF Visual processing: Silent motion detectors p4 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.146 'Silent' synapses enable motion detection by retinal direction-selective ganglion cells at near-threshold contrasts. PDF Neuromodulation: On the alert p4 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.148 A method that integrates whole-brain neural activity measurements with cellular-level molecular phenotyping is used to investigate the neuronal populations that modulate a global brain state. PDF Synaptic transmission: Closer encounters p5 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.150 At hippocampal mossy fibre synapses, depolarization-induced facilitation of vesicle release occurs via a cAMP-dependent increase in coupling between Ca2+ channels and vesicle release machinery. PDF Neurotransmission: A discrete form of secretion p6 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.162 Ca2+-independent but voltage-dependent secretion is mediated by the voltage-gated calcium channel subunit CaV2.2, is enabled by SNARE machinery and results in release of ATP or neuropeptide Y. PDF Motor systems: Cortical instructions p6 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.164 A study reports that low-amplitude intracortical microstimulation in the premotor cortex can be used to induce movements in monkeys by learned association. PDF   IN BRIEF Neurodegenerative disease: Remodelling neurodegeneration | Neuropsychiatric disorders: Stressful depression | Sleep: I feel the need, the need for sleep | Decision making: Valuable choices | Gene expression: Evolving expression patterns | Neuroimmunology: A painful release | Neuronal circuits: A risky connection | Sleep: Let sleeping flies lie PDF

Lineage divergence of activity-driven transcription and evolution of cognitive ability Giles E. Hardingham, Priit Pruunsild, Michael E. Greenberg & Hilmar Bading p9 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.138 Activity-driven changes in gene transcription regulate synaptic development and function. Bading and colleagues describe recent evidence of lineage-specific changes in the gene regulatory regions that govern excitation-transcription coupling and consider how such changes may have contributed to the evolution of human cognitive abilities.

Communication dynamics in complex brain networks Andrea Avena-Koenigsberger, Bratislav Misic & Olaf Sporns p17 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.149 The brain comprises complex structural and functional networks, but much remains to be determined regarding how these networks support the communication processes that underlie neuronal computation. In this Review, Avena-Koenigsberger, Misic and Sporns discuss the network basis of communication dynamics in the brain. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Anticipated moments: temporal structure in attention Anna C. Nobre & Freek van Ede p34 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.141 The brain uses predictable temporal structure to anticipate and select relevant events in time. Nobre and van Ede introduce different types of this 'temporal expectation' and its neural underpinnings, and describe how temporal expectation interacts with other forms of expectation in guiding adaptive behaviour.

OPINION Axo-myelinic neurotransmission: a novel mode of cell signalling in the central nervous system I. Micu et al. p49 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.128 Chemical communication between axons and their myelin sheath is an emerging concept in neurobiology. In this review, Stys and colleagues discuss how this 'axo-myelinic synapse' may play a role in metabolic control of the myelinating unit, modulate myelin dynamics and be a future therapeutic target.
