Got data? p931
Data sharing is not only good citizenship for researchers, but is also required by funding agencies and many journals. The scientific community needs to develop better incentives to encourage compliance and reward those who share.

A role for BDNF in cocaine reward and relapse pp935 - 936
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is important in regulating synaptic plasticity in the brain areas that process reward information. A new study reports that BDNF in the nucleus accumbens, a brain area critical for the rewarding effects of cocaine, promotes persistent cocaine-seeking behaviors and heightens relapse vulnerability.

Nicotinic receptor structure emerging slowly pp937 - 938
A high-resolution crystal structure of the ligand-binding domain of the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α subunit, with three point mutations to improve its crystallization, provides both reassurance and exciting new insights.

Alpha males win again pp938 - 940
Pheromones influence sexual behavior and reproduction in rodents. A new report suggests that neurogenesis induced in the female mouse brain by male pheromones governs the choice of dominant males as mates.

Walking the walk pp940 - 941
Central pattern generators provide the basic stepping pattern in walking, but cannot adjust for the environment. A new study of human locomotion shows a pattern of changes in independent neural controllers for left and right legs.
