PDF Fission' for LTP Natasha Bray pp712 - 713 | doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0081-5 Dendritic mitochondria in stimulated neurons undergo fission that is required for long-term potentiation. PDF Stop, don't prune me! Darran Yates pp712 - 713 | doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0090-4 A study shows that during brain development in mice, CD47 prevents excessive synaptic pruning by microglia.

Jaffrey & Miles F. Wilkinson pp715 - 728 | doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0079-z Nonsense-mediated RNA decay — a highly selective and conserved RNA turnover pathway — is shown to have roles in both brain development and function. In this Review, Jaffrey and Wilkinson discuss how this pathway affects the nervous system. Full Text | PDF Versatile control of synaptic circuits by astrocytes: where, when and how?    Glenn Dallérac, Jonathan Zapata & Nathalie Rouach pp729 - 743 | doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0080-6 Astrocytes display widespread functional diversity that translates into distinct regulation of synaptic circuits. In this Review, Dallérac and colleagues discuss the determinants of these divergent regulations throughout life focusing on astroglial intrinsic heterogeneity, developmental changes and activity-dependent processes. Full Text | PDF The hippocampal sharp wave–ripple in memory retrieval for immediate use and consolidation    Hannah R. Joo & Loren M. Frank pp744 - 757 | doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0077-1 Sharp wave–ripples (SWRs) are specific neural activity patterns in the hippocampus that are thought to support memory. In this Review, Hannah Joo and Loren Frank explore where and when SWRs are generated and propose a revised view of the role of these activity patterns in memory functions. Full Text | PDF Towards a neuroscience of active sampling and curiosity    Jacqueline Gottlieb & Pierre-Yves Oudeyer pp758 - 770 | doi:10.1038/s41583-018-0078-0 Animals may adopt an active-sampling strategy to assess their environment. In this Review, Jacqueline Gottlieb and Pierre-Yves Oudeyer explore the emerging neuroscientific literature examining active sampling and how it relates to attention and curiosity.
