Jamais vu all over again
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1194 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4625 Authors: Rebecca D Burwell & Victoria L Templer What is the basis for the feeling that someplace or someone is familiar? Molas et al. have identified brain structures involved in signaling familiarity, a necessary element for the expression of preference for novelty. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)

Loopholes in the DNA contract kill neurons
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1192 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4626 Authors: Karl Herrup, Kai-Hei Tse & Hei-Man Chow Hexanucleotide repeat expansions in C9orf72 gene locus create double jeopardy, first by leading to DNA–RNA R-loops that spawn double-strand breaks and second by the synthesis of dipeptide repeats that hinder DNA repair. This two-pronged mechanism may explain neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)

Memory reactivation improves visual perception
Nature Neuroscience 20, 1325 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4629 Authors: Rotem Amar-Halpert, Rony Laor-Maayany, Shlomi Nemni, Jonathan D Rosenblatt & Nitzan Censor Human perception thresholds can improve through learning. Here we report findings challenging the fundamental 'practice makes perfect' basis of procedural learning theory, showing that brief reactivations of encoded visual memories are sufficient to improve perceptual discrimination thresholds. Learning was comparable to standard practice-induced learning and was not due to short training per se, nor to an epiphenomenon of primed retrieval enhancement. The ...
