The origin and natural history of autism spectrum disorders
Nature Neuroscience 19, 1390 (2016). doi:10.1038/nn.4427 Author: James C Harris Refined social phenotyping of syndromic and idiopathic forms of autism, combined with advances in genetics, animal models of syndromes and brain imaging, may facilitate discovery of shared brain mechanisms that will lead to new treatments. The reversal of social deficits in animal models is promising for eventual translation into therapeutics. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)

Gravity orientation tuning in macaque anterior thalamus
Nature Neuroscience 19, 1566 (2016). doi:10.1038/nn.4423 Authors: Jean Laurens, Byounghoon Kim, J David Dickman & Dora E Angelaki Gravity may provide a ubiquitous allocentric reference to the brain's spatial orientation circuits. Here we describe neurons in the macaque anterior thalamus tuned to pitch and roll orientation relative to gravity, independently of visual landmarks. We show that individual cells exhibit two-dimensional tuning curves, with peak firing rates at a preferred vertical orientation. These results identify a thalamic pathway for gravity cues to influence perception, action and spatial cognit...
