Working in Africa provides neuroscientists with opportunities that are not available in other continents, but obstacles must be overcome for the neuroscience community in Africa to reach its full potential.

A landmark-based cross-modality alignment method robust to variation in landmark sets is applied to annotate an EM time series of Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic development as a community resource.

The auditory system adapts to the changing acoustics of reverberant environments by temporally shifting the inhibitory tuning of cortical neurons to reduce the effects of reverberation.

Humans trained to flexibly control individual motor units within a muscle do not naturally learn to gain control over recruitment order.

Repressing astroglial PTBP1 by shRNA or antisense oligonucleotide fails to convert astrocyte to neuron including dopaminergic neuron in a 6-OHDA mouse model of PD.

New findings cast doubt on whether suppressing the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 can force astrocytes to become dopaminergic neurons.

Minian is an open-source analysis pipeline for calcium imaging data that enhances usability with low memory demands and transparency with user-friendly interactive visualizations.

Partial response electromyography is a useful and reliable measure of action stopping in a stop signal task, supported by psychometric and meta-analytic evidence.

Liquid biopsy methods utilizing brain-specific cell-free DNA methylation markers can detect brain cell death and potentially assist early detection and monitoring of schizophrenia.

Effectively connected neurons self-organize forming networks with a small-world architecture composed of modules, with most likely few and nearby neurons, integrated by more topologically important and high firing rate neurons.
