RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS   Top Neural repair: Getting back on your hindlimbs p251 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.39 A combination of electrochemical neuromodulation of spinal leg circuits and physical training in a robotic rehabilitation system restored volitional locomotion in rodents with severe spinal cord injury. PDF Spinal cord: Making new connections p252 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.33 This study shows that human neural stem cell grafts re-establish a neuronal relay across spinal cord injury in rhesus monkeys. PDF Neurogenesis: News of no new neurons? p252 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.34 A study of post-mortem brains from individuals of difference ages suggests that hippocampal neurogenesis in humans decreases during childhood and is absent in adults. PDF Neural development: Instigating engulfment p253 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.31 In the spinal cord and thalamus of mice, astrocyte-generated interleukin-33 instructs microglia to engulf synapses and thus regulates neural circuit development. PDF Neural circuits: Balancing threats p254 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.35 Two studies provide insight into the neural circuits integrating competing threat signals, such as pain and hunger. PDF   IN BRIEF Myelin: Wrapped up | Techniques: In a split sequence | Techniques: MEG in motion PDF Nature Reviews Neuroscience JOBS of the week Assistant Professor of Systems Neuroscience Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Joint medical school between, Imperial College London and Nanyang Technological University Bioinformatics Research Scientist - Developmental Neurobiology St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) Postdoctoral Associate Positions New York Upstate Medical University Research Specialist I (Lab) Princeton University Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Scientist Boston Children's Hospital / Harvard Medical School More Science jobs from Nature Reviews Neuroscience EVENT Advanced Techniques in Molecular Neuroscience 29.06.18 Cold Spring Harbor, USA More science events from

Cortical travelling waves: mechanisms and computational principles Lyle Muller, Frédéric Chavane, John Reynolds & Terrence J. Sejnowski p255 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.20 Advanced recording techniques have enabled the identification of travelling waves of neuronal activity in different areas of the cortex. Sejnowski and colleagues review these findings, consider the mechanisms by which travelling waves are generated and evaluate their possible roles in cortical function. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Surviving threats: neural circuit and computational implications of a new taxonomy of defensive behaviour Joseph LeDoux & Nathaniel D. Daw p269 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.22 Animals exhibit a variety of different responses to threatening stimuli, including both innate and instrumental behaviours. LeDoux and Daw describe a new taxonomy of defensive behaviours and review what we know about the underlying neural circuits and computational processes. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Fibrinogen in neurological diseases: mechanisms, imaging and therapeutics Mark A. Petersen, Jae Kyu Ryu & Katerina Akassoglou p283 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.13 Fibrinogen enters the brain in a wide range of brain diseases that involve blood-brain barrier disruption. In this Review, Petersen et al. discuss recent evidence that fibrinogen causes damage that contributes to the pathology of a range of neurological disorders and discuss therapeutic implications.

OPINION Article series: Food intake, metabolism and the brain Feeding circuit development and early-life influences on future feeding behaviour Lori M. Zeltser p302 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.23 The extent and contribution of maternal influence to the developing hypothalamus to later feeding behaviour remain controversial. In this Opinion, Zeltser proposes that crosstalk between developing circuits regulating different modalities of food intake shapes susceptibility to environmental challenges.
