Cracking the mnemonic code
Nature Neuroscience 20, 8 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4466 Authors: Eva Zita Patai & Hugo J Spiers Evidence reveals that humans share remarkably similar patterns of event-specific neural activity during spontaneous spoken recall. Posterior medial cortex appears to play a key role in transforming experience into memory. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)

Fast-acting neurons that suppress appetite
Nature Neuroscience 20, 2 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4456 Author: Richard D Palmiter Recent studies reveal several groups of neurons that become activated upon anticipation or consumption of meals. These neurons constitute key components of the complex feedback system that prevents continuous feeding by mice. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)

Grid cells' need for speed
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4460 Authors: Alfredo Gonzalez-Sulser & Matthew F Nolan Grid-firing fields of neurons in the entorhinal cortex are thought to require inputs encoding running speed. Glutamatergic projections from the medial septum may be one of the inputs that provide these speed signals. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)
