Mobile HomeCage enables in vivo two-photon microscopy and patch-clamp in the brain of awake and behaving rodents. It combines calcium imaging or whole-cell recordings with behavioral tests in one experiment and eliminates the distorting effects of anesthetics on the brain.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Cognition: Klotho spins cognitive fate p425 | doi:10.1038/nrn3777 The anti-ageing factor Klotho modulates cognition independently of its effects on ageing. PDF Endocannabinoids: A protective receptor pool p426 | doi:10.1038/nrn3772 CB1 cannabinoid receptors at the terminals of glutamatergic corticostriatal neurons exert neuroprotective effects by preventing excitotoxicity. PDF Neuroendocrinology: A long pain-free life p426 | doi:10.1038/nrn3778 Pain-sensitive sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion release calcitonin gene-related peptide, which could over time have long-term consequences on metabolism and longevity by reducing pancreatic release of insulin. PDF Learning and memory: Neurogenesis erases existing memories p428 | doi:10.1038/nrn3768 Neurogenesis — in infancy or adulthood — induces forgetting of established memories. PDF Sleep: Inducing lucid dreams p428 | doi:10.1038/nrn3769 Stimulation of sleepers' brains with 40 Hz currents during rapid eye movement sleep can induce lucid dreaming. PDF Sensory systems: Eat well to improve smell? p428 | doi:10.1038/nrn3771 A high-fat diet causes persistent changes in the structure and function of the mouse olfactory system. PDF IN BRIEF Neurodegenerative disease: Import blockade | Neural networks: Getting rich young | Blood–brain barrier: A dual-purpose facilitator | Learning and memory: Engineering memories | GLIA: A broader remit for leptin | Neuroimmunology: Inflammation gets traffic moving | Sleep and memory: To sleep and learn PDF Neuroscience JOBS of the week Postdoctoral Researcher in Molecular Therapy and Translational Neuroscience VIB Department of Molecular Genetics Postdoctoral Research Associate Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason Senior neuroscientists Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience / Ikerbasque - Basque Foundation for Science Postdoctoral Research Position University of California - San Diego Postdoc in Neurobiology at TIGEM Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM) More Science jobs from Neuroscience EVENT Mind & Brain Prize 2014 19.11.14 Torino, Italy More science events from

Müller glial cell reprogramming and retina regeneration Daniel Goldman p431 | doi:10.1038/nrn3723 Müller glia in the fish retina respond to injury by reprogramming to a stem-cell-like state that enables them to regenerate all of the major retinal cell types. Goldman reviews our current understanding of the mechanisms that regulate this regenerative response and considers how this knowledge might be applied to improve repair in the mammalian retina.

Light as a central modulator of circadian rhythms, sleep and affect Tara A. LeGates, Diego C. Fernandez & Samer Hattar p443 | doi:10.1038/nrn3743 Alterations in normal patterns of exposure to light disrupt circadian rhythms and sleep, and have a profound effect on health and mood. Hattar and colleagues describe the role of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in mediating the direct and indirect effects of light on mood and cognition.

A neurocentric perspective on glioma invasion Vishnu Anand Cuddapah, Stefanie Robel, Stacey Watkins & Harald Sontheimer p455 | doi:10.1038/nrn3765 Malignant gliomas are notoriously difficult cancers to treat. The majority of current therapeutics target the traditional oncological traits of glioma cells. In this Review, Cuddapah et al. explore the unique biology of glioma cells and propose novel, brain-specific therapeutic targets. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
Grid cells and cortical representation Edvard I. Moser, Yasser Roudi, Menno P. Witter, Clifford Kentros, Tobias Bonhoeffer & May-Britt Moser p466 | doi:10.1038/nrn3766 Nervous systems recreate properties of the environment in activity patterns referred to as neural representations. In this Review, Moser and colleagues examine how grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex contribute to the neural representation of external space. Abstract | Full Text | PDF

OPINION Is the din really harmless? Long-term effects of non-traumatic noise on the adult auditory system Boris Gourévitch, Jean-Marc Edeline, Florian Occelli & Jos J. Eggermont p483 | doi:10.1038/nrn3744 Environmental noise is thought to have a negligible influence on the auditory system, but recent data casts doubt on this assumption. In this Opinion article, Gourévitch and colleagues provide their view on how long-term exposure to environmental noise alters the way sound is represented in the adult brain.
