  abstract     = {How to generate a brain of correct size and with appropriate cell-type diversity during development is a major question in Neuroscience. In the developing neocortex, radial glial progenitor (RGP) cells are the main neural stem cells that produce cortical excitatory projection neurons, glial cells, and establish the prospective postnatal stem cell niche in the lateral ventricles. RGPs follow a tightly orchestrated developmental program that when disrupted can result in severe cortical malformations such as microcephaly and megalencephaly. The precise cellular and molecular mechanisms instructing faithful RGP lineage progression are however not well understood. This review will summarize recent conceptual advances that contribute to our understanding of the general principles of RGP lineage progression.},

  abstract     = {Synaptic plasticity is essential for the function of neural systems. It sets up initial circuitry and adjusts connection strengths according to the maintenance requirements of its host networks. Like all things biological, synaptic plasticity must rely on genetic programs to provide the molecular components of its machinery to integrate ongoing, often multi-sensory experience without destabilising effects. Because of its fundamental importance to healthy behaviour, understanding plasticity is thought to hold the key to understanding the brain. There are innumerable ways to approach this topic and a complete review of its status quo would be impossible. In the current issue we dig into some of the finer points of synaptic plasticity, starting small, at the level of genes, and slowly zooming out to synapses, populations of synapses, and finally entire systems and brain regions. At each level, we tried to represent different perspectives, different systems, and approaches to the same questions to give a broad sampling of how synaptic plasticity is being studied.},

  abstract     = {Excitatory postsynaptic currents in neurones of the central nervous system have a dual-component time course that results from the co-activation of AMPA/kainate-type and NMDA-type glutamate receptors. New approaches in electrophysiology and molecular biology have provided a better understanding of the factors that determine the kinectics of excitatory postsynaptic currents. Recent studies suggest that the time course of neurotransmitter concentration in the synaptic cleft, the gating properties of the native channels, and the glutamate receptor subunit composition all appear to be important factors.},
