It's been a year since I started using MATLAB as part of my workflow in a neuroscience lab. This month, I've shared my first function on File Exchange - a utility function that improves documentation printing comment block banners in ASCII-characters. It's now the MATLAB pick of the week!

How to understand the brain through the lens of natural behaviour?
Here's Nachum's vision on exploring the whole range - from lab experiments to those in the wild.
Join us in this adventure as we uncover what the brain does under the conditions it has evolved in.
