Sir Charles Sherrington's work forms the basis of our current understanding of numerous aspects of nervous system physiology. Inspired by the recent rediscovery of a collection of Sherrington's histology slides, Molnár and Brown revisit his lifetime's achievements in neuroscience.
Studies in fruit flies have greatly aided our understanding of the nervous system. Bellen and colleagues take us through the key findings in the last century. They argue that thanks to the unmatched wealth of tools that can be used inDrosophila melanogaster, research in flies will continue to contribute to many aspects of vertebrate neuroscience.
To celebrate the centenary of Brodmann's brain map, Zilles and Amunts review his pioneering work and its legacy. This article reconsiders the original concepts described by Brodmann and the use of his map for interpreting functional and structural neuroimaging data today.
