Nature Reviews Neuroscience is the leading review journal in the neurosciences. It publishes articles that review recent progress in brain and nervous system research. Topics range from molecular and cellular aspects of neuronal development and function to behavior, cognition and disorders of the nervous system. By commissioning the best authors to write on the timeliest issues, and following a rigorous peer-review process, the journal provides an unparalleled source of information and opinion for neuroscientists in academia, clinical research and industry. One of the unique features of Nature Reviews Neuroscience is its extraordinary breadth and depth of coverage. This very broad scope – from molecules to mind – captures the essence of modern neuroscience, and allows the journal to attract readers from all areas of this ever-expanding discipline. http://feeds.nature.com/nrn/rss/current Nature Publishing Group en © 2026 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature.

AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain.

Neuronal loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer disease occurs through necroptosis and is shown to be dependent on low-glucose conditions, which increase hyperphosphorylated tau levels; in turn, this simultaneously activates pro-necroptotic pathways and disables a key checkpoint mechanism.]]> Sian Lewis doi:10.1038/s41583-026-01053-1 Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Published online: 2026-05-21; | doi:10.1038/s41583-026-01053-1 2026-05-21 Nature Reviews Neuroscience 10.1038/s41583-026-01053-1 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41583-026-01053-1 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41583-026-01049-x Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Published online: 14 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41583-026-01049-x
