title: Neuroscience in the former GDR.
abstract: Until 1945, when Germany was subdivided into four occupied territories, scientific traditions and science policy were the same throughout Germany. Then came 45 years of increasing separation and diverging development. Now, the East and West are again formally united and their inhabitants are experiencing, with an intensity that was not anticipated, just how different their countries have become.
