Proteomics in postgenomic neuroscience: the end of the beginning.

Proteomics is complementary to genomic approaches anchored in DNA and RNA. Global characterization of proteins is providing new insights into general biological structures as well as synapses, receptor complexes and other neuronal and glial features. Current challenges for proteomics of the nervous system include problems relating to sample preparation, brain complexity, limited databases and informatics tools. The combination of proteomics with other global functional genomic approaches at the levels of genome and transcriptome, together with network biology, will provide important bridges between genes, physiology and pathology.

Ethics and social policy in research on the neuroscience of human sexuality.

The potential benefits of neuroscientific research into sexuality are great, but neuroscientists must participate in debates over the social, forensic and therapeutic implications of their findings. If serious research in sexuality is to be supported by the public, researchers must continue to earn society's trust with responsible and thoughtful presentation of their work.

Cognitive neuroscience of emotional memory.

Emotional events often attain a privileged status in memory. Cognitive neuroscientists have begun to elucidate the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying emotional retention advantages in the human brain. The amygdala is a brain structure that directly mediates aspects of emotional learning and facilitates memory operations in other regions, including the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Emotion-memory interactions occur at various stages of information processing, from the initial encoding and consolidation of memory traces to their long-term retrieval. Recent advances are revealing new insights into the reactivation of latent emotional associations and the recollection of personal episodes from the remote past.

Why sex matters for neuroscience.

A rapidly burgeoning literature documents copious sex influences on brain anatomy, chemistry and function. This article highlights some of the more intriguing recent discoveries and their implications. Consideration of the effects of sex can help to explain seemingly contradictory findings. Research into sex influences is mandatory to fully understand a host of brain disorders with sex differences in their incidence and/or nature. The striking quantity and diversity of sex-related influences on brain function indicate that the still widespread assumption that sex influences are negligible cannot be justified, and probably retards progress in our field.
