Just one of many high-quality articles from Frontiers in Neuroscience: The role of the primary auditory cortex in the neural mechanism of auditory verbal hallucinations Kristiina Kompus and colleagues present new data from a fMRI study, examining the responsivity of the left and right PAC to parametrical modulation of the intensity of auditory verbal stimulation, and corresponding attentional top-down control in non-clinical participants with AVHs, and non-clinical participants with no AVHs.

HIV infection may raise risk of cocaine abuse - The latest Neuropsychopharmacology podcast is now available! In this podcast, Dr. Jay P. McLaughlin discusses how a protein associated with HIV infection, called HIV-1 Tat, may increase vulnerability for drug addiction.  Listen to the podcast for FREE  Dr Jay P. McLaughlin's accompanying original article is available to read here.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Stem cells: Small but beautiful p665 | doi:10.1038/nrn3600 Neuroectoderm derived from human pluripotent stem cells can self-organize in vitro into a three-dimensional brain-like structure. PDF Neural development: Double agent sonic hedgehog p666 | doi:10.1038/nrn3591 A new study shows that the switch of sonic hedgehog from an attractive to a repulsive signal for commissural axon navigation involves the heparan sulphate proteoglycan glypican 1 and induction of Hedgehog-interacting protein expression. PDF Neurotransmission: Timing the release p666 | doi:10.1038/nrn3598Different sets of proteins regulate the fast and slow components of neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction of worms. PDF Spatial processing: Humans are on the grid p667 | doi:10.1038/nrn3588 Direct electrophysical recordings reveal the presence of grid cells in the human brain. PDF Neural circuits: To stay, or to go? p668 | doi:10.1038/nrn3601 A new study characterizes a neuromodulatory circuit in worms that regulates opposing foraging behavioural states. PDF Psychiatric disorders: Reining in the habenula? p668 | doi:10.1038/nrn3602 A new study shows that increased β-calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II expression in the lateral habenula is both sufficient and necessary for the expression of depression-like behaviour in rodents. PDF Visual system: Mapping motion detection p669 | doi:10.1038/nrn3590 Two new studies reveal a wiring plan that enables motion discrimination in the fly's visual system. PDF Neuroendocrinology: Signalling starvation p670 | doi:10.1038/nrn3592 Two new studies in mice show that fibroblast growth factor 21 acts at the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus and the dorsal vagal complex of the hindbrain to regulate various adaptive responses to nutritional deprivation. PDF Memory: RBAP48 drives age-related memory loss p670 | doi:10.1038/nrn3603 Inhibiting the expression of a histone-binding protein that declines with age in the human dentate gyrus in young mice leads to memory deficits that are similar to those of aged wild-type mice. PDF IN BRIEF Cellular imaging: A signal boost for GEVIs | Neural development: Coffee disrupts brain development | Cognitive neuroscience: A functional gradient | Sensory systems: Probing hot cell function | Gene expression: The long and short of it | Learning and memory: Fading with time | Neuropsychology: The joystick years | Pain: Feeling the pain PDF Neuroscience JOBS of the week PhD studentship in Neuroscience Tübingen University Integrative Neuroscience Faculty Position Stony Brook University - Department of Psychology Faculty Positions in Neuroscience and Neuroimaging Institute for Basic Science (IBS) Assistant Professors Neuroscience and Human Cognition MIT Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Molecular Neuroscience George Mason University More Science jobs from Neuroscience EVENT Neuroscience 2013 09.-13.11.13 San Diego, US More science events from

p11 and its role in depression and therapeutic responses to antidepressants Per Svenningsson, Yong Kim, Jennifer Warner-Schmidt, Yong-Seok Oh & Paul Greengard p673 | doi:10.1038/nrn3564 Recent studies have shown that the protein p11 (also known as S100A10) has an important role in depression-like behaviour and antidepressant actions. Greengard and colleagues discuss the molecular and cellular mechanisms that may underlie this role. Abstract | Full Text | PDF

Genes and circuits of courtship behaviour in Drosophila males Daisuke Yamamoto & Masayuki Koganezawa p681 | doi:10.1038/nrn3567 The fruitless (fru) gene is a crucial regulator of male courtship behaviour. In this Review, Yamamoto and Koganezawa discuss and integrate findings from molecular, cellular and behavioural studies of fru to provide an understanding of how a single gene can organize such an elaborate behaviour.

The what, where and how of auditory-object perception Jennifer K. Bizley & Yale E. Cohen p693 | doi:10.1038/nrn3565 In order to make sense of the multitude of acoustic stimuli that surround us in our daily lives, the auditory system needs to be able to assign different sounds to specific sources within the 'auditory scene'. Bizley and Cohen describe how auditory information processing in the cortex categorizes and groups different sounds into 'auditory objects'. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Choosing an animal model for the study of Huntington's disease Mahmoud A. Pouladi, A. Jennifer Morton & Michael R. Hayden p708 | doi:10.1038/nrn3570 In this Review, Pouladi and colleagues critically examine the strengths and limitations of the currently available animal models of Huntington's disease. By doing so, they aim to facilitate animal model selection in future studies of this progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Abstract | Full Text | PDF

OPINION Pathophysiology of the brain extracellular matrix: a new target for remyelination Lorraine W. Lau, Rowena Cua, Michael B. Keough, Sarah Haylock-Jacobs & V. Wee Yong p722 | doi:10.1038/nrn3550 Neural insults in conditions such as multiple sclerosis induce changes in the brain's extracellular matrix (ECM) that can inhibit myelin repair. In this Opinion article, Yong and colleagues examine such changes and how the ECM could be targeted to promote remyelination in disease. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
SCIENCE AND SOCIETY Article series: Neuroscience and the law Neuroscientists in court Owen D. Jones, Anthony D. Wagner, David L. Faigman & Marcus E. Raichle p730 | doi:10.1038/nrn3585 Neuroscientific evidence is increasingly offered in court cases, with neuroscientists often acting as expert witnesses. Jones and colleagues discuss the important roles that neuroscientists serve, as well as the potential problems they, as well as judges and jurors, may encounter. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
