Introduction Visual cortex of the blind is known to be functionally reorganized to involve in the auditory processing, tactile processing, language and imagery. The reduced volume and decreased diffusion anisotrophy explain the anatomical aspect of disu...

Fiber photometry is a neuroscience technique that can continuously monitor in vivo fluorescence to assess population neural activity or neuropeptide/transmitter release in freely behaving animals. Despite the widespread adoption of this technique, methods to statistically analyse data in an unbiased, objective, and easily adopted manner are lacking. Various pipelines for data analysis exist, but they are often system-specific, only for pre-processing data, and/or lack usability. Current post hoc statistical approaches involve inadvertently biased user-defined time-binned averages or area under the curve analysis. To date, no post-hoc user-friendly tool with few assumptions for a standardised unbiased analysis exists, yet such a tool would improve reproducibility and statistical reliability for all users. Hence, we have developed a user-friendly post hoc statistical analysis package in Python that is easily downloaded and applied to data from any fiber photometry system.

Pain affects two thirds of patients following spinal cord injury (SCI). While its psychosocial impact is well-understood, we just begin to unravel the interaction between nociception and sensorimotor adaptation responsible for functional improvement. Re...

Melissa L. Caras and Dan H. Sanes (see pages [2889–2902][1]) During adolescence, animals become less dependent on parents and begin to seek new social relationships and experiences. The brain undergoes many changes during this period, including changes in reward circuitry and strengthening of
