Mahar and Cavalli describe the mechanisms that initiate and coordinate the programme of transcriptional and epigenetic changes that enable axon regeneration in the peripheral nervous system.   The basal ganglia and the cerebellum: nodes in an integrated network    pp338 - 350 Andreea C. Bostan & Peter L. Strick doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0002-7 The basal ganglia and the cerebellum were thought to communicate via the cerebral cortex. In this Review, Andreea Bostan and Peter Strick discuss findings indicating that these subcortical areas are in fact interconnected and, along with the cerebral cortex, form an integrated network.   Breathing matters    pp351 - 367 Christopher A. Del Negro, Gregory D. Funk & Jack L. Feldman doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0003-6 Breathing is a crucial yet surprisingly complex behaviour. Del Negro, Funk and Feldman describe the neural mechanisms underlying different phases of the breathing cycle, and how breathing affects, and is affected by, emotion, cognition and other behaviours.   Rett syndrome: insights into genetic, molecular and circuit mechanisms    pp368 - 382 Jacque P. K. Ip, Nikolaos Mellios & Mriganka Sur doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0006-3 The neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome is caused by a deficiency in methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Ip, Mellios and Sur describe the many functions of MeCP2 and the effects of MeCP2 loss on gene expression, excitation–inhibition balance and activity-dependent plasticity.   Advertisement Nature Briefing is an essential round-up of science news, opinion and analysis, free in your inbox every weekday.
