Article series
An Article Series is a special series of articles that explores a specific theme and comprises Reviews and Perspectives that are published consecutively over a period of time.
CNS precursors
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of information about the nature and roles of precursor cell populations in the developing and adult CNS. Nature Reviews Neuroscience presents a series of articles that describe recent advances in the identification of precursor cells and in our understanding of their regulation and functional roles.
Sleep
Sleep is important for health and cognitive function. Nature Reviews Neuroscience presents a series of articles that review our understanding of the genetic, cellular and systems basis of sleep. The series will also highlight advances in our understanding of the function of sleep.
Neuron–glia interactions
The importance of interactions between neurons and glia during development and in adulthood is becoming apparent. Nature Reviews Neuroscience presents a series of articles to highlight the diversity of these interactions and to draw attention to the sometimes controversial findings in the literature. Articles in this series will cover subjects ranging from molecular aspects of neuron–glia signalling to network interactions and their roles in development and disease.
Memory systems
There is a growing consensus that different types of memory are mediated by multiple distinct systems, but how these 'multiple memory systems' are organized in the brain is still a topic of debate. Nature Reviews Neuroscience presents a series of articles that discuss recent findings and controversies regarding the neural substrates of different memory systems and their components, drawing on data from neuropsychological, cognitive, neuroimaging and animal studies.
Signalling in development
A special series of articles highlighting recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that are involved in all aspects of neural development.
Neuroimaging
A special series of articles highlighting applications of neuroimaging techniques in all areas of neuroscience, including basic neurobiology, cognitive and behavioural neuroscience, translational neurology and clinical practice.
