The road least taken - pp623 - 624

Vinod Rao & Lawrence H Snyder

doi:10.1038/nn0608-623

Decisions between two alternatives have been extensively studied and modeled. A study now reports that during choices among several options, the responses of neurons in the lateral intraparietal area are still well described by the integration-to-bound model, supporting the general applicability of this computational framework.

Neurotrophins giveth and they taketh away - pp627 - 628

Alun M Davies

doi:10.1038/nn0608-627

Neurotrophins are recognized for their role in sustaining neuron survival and promoting axon growth. New studies reveal that they can also facilitate both neuron death and axon pruning by mechanisms that have much in common.
