Polydendrocytes (NG2 cells): multifunctional cells with lineage plasticity
Akiko Nishiyama, Mila Komitova, Ryusuke Suzuki and Xiaoqin Zhu
p9 | doi:10.1038/nrn2495
In recent years the function of NG2-expressing cells in the developing
and adult CNS has attracted the attention of many researchers. Nishiyama
and colleagues discuss recent findings and the outstanding questions about
these cells' lineage and contribution to CNS function.

Pathological and protective roles of glia in chronic pain
Erin D. Milligan and Linda R. Watkins
p23 | doi:10.1038/nrn2533
Activated glia exert both positive and negative effects on pain processing.
Milligan and Watkins review the molecular mechanisms that underlie neuron-glia
interactions in this context. Manipulation of these interactions could
represent a new and more efficient approach to treating chronic pain.

Tuning the developing brain to social signals of emotions
Jukka M. Leppanen and Charles A. Nelson
p37 | doi:10.1038/nrn2554
Facial expressions of emotion are universal, but the sensitivity with
which these expressions are recognized differs between individuals.
Leppanen and Nelson discuss how a network of emotional and visual processing
areas develops through experience-expectant and experience-dependent mechanisms.

Perceiving is believing: a Bayesian approach to explaining the positive
symptoms of schizophrenia
Paul C. Fletcher and Chris D. Frith
p48 | doi:10.1038/nrn2536
Hallucinations and delusions are striking features of schizophrenia that
have been difficult to explain. Fletcher and Frith discuss cognitive
theories of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia and describe how
abnormalities in error-dependent learning could underlie both hallucinations
and delusions.

How do you feel - now? The anterior insula and human awareness
A. D. (Bud) Craig
p59 | doi:10.1038/nrn2555
The anterior insular cortex is activated by a wide range of conditions
and behaviours that go beyond interoception. In a provocative Perspective,
Bud Craig proposes that the anterior insula has a fundamental role in human
awareness.

Brain banking: opportunities, challenges and meaning for the future
Hans Kretzschmar
p70 | doi:10.1038/nrn2535
Brain banking has supported many important advances in neuroscience
research. Kretzschmar describes the advantages and opportunities offered
by brain banking and provides insight into the challenges facing brain
banks in the future.
