Nature Medicine Classics Collection In 2010, Nature Medicine will celebrate 15 years as the leading translational-research journal. To mark this anniversary, the journal has launched the Nature Medicine Classics Collection. This collection brings together some landmark articles published in Nature Medicine over the past 15 years, making them freely available to all our readers together with a series of recent articles on different fields of biomedicine to illustrate the breadth of the journal. Access this collection online for FREE at www.nature.com/nm/classics

Understanding microRNAs in neurodegeneration Stephen M. Eacker, Ted M. Dawson & Valina L. Dawson p837 | doi:10.1038/nrn2726 Multiple roles for microRNA-mediated regulation of mRNA translation in the nervous system have emerged in recent years. Dawson and colleagues discuss the mechanisms by which microRNAs might influence neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis and outline key questions for future research. Abstract | Full Text | PDF

microRNAs at the synapse Gerhard Schratt p842 | doi:10.1038/nrn2763 MicroRNAs are emerging as key modulators of post-transcriptional gene regulation in the synaptodendritic compartment. Here, Schratt reviews recent studies showing that neural activity controls microRNA transcription, subcellular localization, processing and function, and discusses the relevance of microRNAs for synapse development and plasticity.

TrkB signalling pathways in LTP and learning Liliana Minichiello p850 | doi:10.1038/nrn2738 In recent years, a role has been proposed for the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Liliana Minichiello discusses the signalling pathways downstream of TrkB activation that might contribute to this function. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information
Plasticity during stroke recovery: from synapse to behaviour Timothy H. Murphy & Dale Corbett p861 | doi:10.1038/nrn2735 Evidence suggests that a time-limited window of plasticity exists following a stroke, during which most behavioural recovery occurs. Murphy and Corbett describe advances in our understanding of plasticity and recovery after stroke and highlight parallels with developmental plasticity.

Plasticity and stability of visual field maps in adult primary visual cortex Brian A. Wandell & Stelios M. Smirnakis p873 | doi:10.1038/nrn2741 Primary visual cortex (V1) is often used as a prime example of cortical plasticity both during development and in adulthood. In this provocative Review, Wandell and Smirnakis reassess the literature and discuss the evidence for and against plasticity in adult V1. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information
PERSPECTIVES		Top
OPINION A new perspective on the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in adaptive behaviour Geoffrey Schoenbaum, Matthew R. Roesch, Thomas A. Stalnaker & Yuji K. Takahashi p885 | doi:10.1038/nrn2753 The orbitofrontal cortex has a role in flexible behaviour. Schoenbaum and colleagues discuss recent data suggesting that it signals expected outcomes and propose that this role also explains how it can mediate flexible behaviour in the face of unexpected outcomes.
