RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Gut-brain communication: Making friends with microbes p533 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.93 In mice, maternal obesity induces differences in the gut microbiota of the offspring that can affect the development of social behaviour. PDF Neuroimmunology: Social support from the immune system p534 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.112 Interferon-γ acts on inhibitory neurons to regulate social behaviour in mice. PDF Basal Ganglia: Pathways for action p534 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.118 Patterns of coordinated activity in the direct, striatonigral pathway and the indirect, striatopallidal pathway regulate action performance.

REVIEWS		Top
Epigenetic mechanisms in neurogenesis Bing Yao et al. p537 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.70 The proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in the embryonic and adult brain are influenced by various processes, including epigenetic regulation. Song and colleagues review the epigenetic regulation of neurogenesis in health and in various brain disorders, placing their focus on DNA and histone modifications. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors in nervous system development and disease Tobias Langenhan, Xianhua Piao & Kelly R. Monk p550 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.86 Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) have diverse functional roles in the nervous system. In this Review, the authors discuss the roles of these proteins in neural development, including cortical patterning, dendrite and synapse formation, and myelination. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
The enigmatic mossy cell of the dentate gyrus Helen E. Scharfman p562 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.87 Mossy cells are a major subpopulation of glutamatergic principal neurons within the dentate gyrus; however, their roles in hippocampal circuitry are poorly understood. Scharfman describes how new techniques to probe mossy cell function are shedding light on their contribution to hippocampal function and behaviour. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Molecular mechanisms underlying alcohol-drinking behaviours Dorit Ron & Segev Barak p576 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.85 The development of alcohol use disorder involves a transition from the moderate use to the excessive, uncontrolled consumption of alcohol. Focusing on findings in rodents, Ron and Barak review the intracellular signalling cascades that underlie this transition and the molecular mechanisms that act against it. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
PERSPECTIVES		Top
OPINION Time to connect: bringing social context into addiction neuroscience Markus Heilig, David H. Epstein, Michael A. Nader & Yavin Shaham p592 | doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.67 Research on the neural substrates of drug addiction has yet to be translated into a treatment of addiction. Heilig et al. propose that finding neural links between social factors, such as exclusion, and drug addiction would help to make addiction neuroscience research more clinically relevant.
