Polymorphic computation in locus coeruleus networks
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1517 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4663 Authors: Dong-oh Seo & Michael R Bruchas Physiological and optogenetic dissection of discrete locus coeruleus neuronal populations reveals a functional disassociation, with heterogeneous engagement of locus coeruleus neurons in either fear learning or extinction models.

The cingulate cortex: divided in pain
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1515 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4664 Author: Thomas Nevian The discovery of a circuit from the midcingulate cortex to the posterior insula that is essential for cortical sensitization sheds light on the plasticity mechanisms responsible for the transition from acute to chronic pain.

Synuclein and dopamine: the Bonnie and Clyde of Parkinson's disease
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1514 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4660 Author: Subhojit Roy Mouse models have generally failed to recapitulate the dopaminergic neurodegeneration seen in Parkinson's disease. Expressing mutant α-synuclein in a background of elevated dopamine generates mice with nigrostriatal degeneration. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)
