Today he would have turned 100. Yesterday, 25 years since he received his Nobel Prize. Master of proteins, synapses, New York’s best places to eat and the more than occasional off-colour joke. Trailblazer, inspiration, generous source of insight and support. In grateful memory, Paul Greengard.

An extraordinary life of scientific discovery has come to an end.
Remembering GABA pioneer Edward Kravitz
The biochemist, who died last month at age 92, was part of the first neurobiology department in the world and showed that gamma-aminobutyric acid is inhibitory.

Maternal aggression driven by the transient mobilisation of a dormant hormone-sensitive circuit - Nature Communications
Mothers can fiercely defend their young, but how the brain triggers this response remains to a large extent a mystery. Here, authors show that a dormant, hormone-sensitive brain circuit switches on to spark maternal aggression during the lactation period.
