Upstream current for a downstream flow
Nature Neuroscience 20, 631 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4542 Author: Jessica A Filosa Capillary endothelial cells sense neuronal activity-evoked increases in extracellular K+ via KIR2.1 inwardly rectifying K+ channels. The ensuing hyperpolarization travels upstream along the vascular network, reaching arterioles and evoking vasodilation. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)

Showing transmitters the door: synucleins accelerate vesicle release
Nature Neuroscience 20, 629 (2017). doi:10.1038/nn.4551 Author: Dennis J Selkoe α-Synuclein is present at high levels in all neurons and their synapses. We now learn that this protein helps dilate the fusion pore, which forms transiently during vesicle exocytosis, promoting release of certain neurotransmitters. (Source: Nature Neuroscience)
