A few months ago, I shared how my passion for research began and how Open Access has impacted my work. It reflected my beginnings in research as a second-year medical student from Ogbomoso, Nigeria. I’m deeply grateful to Wiley for this opportunity.
Why is #OpenAccess research important?
Watch Dr. Nicholas Aderinto share his connection with the Wiley ed-science journal portfolio and how #OA is essential to empowering research. #LearnOn
What does stroke cost a family? Our review of evidence from 10 African countries highlights treatment costs, lost earnings, and how much remains unmeasured. Thank you, @nigeriantribune, for covering our study.

I'm glad to be included in the 2026 Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists list.
I'm grateful to the colleagues and mentors who have been part of my journey. Much more to learn, and much more to do.

Today’s Nobel Prize in Medicine announcement brings me back to a question I asked in Nature last year: When will Africa have a Nobel Prize in medicine? What will it take to give research done in Africa the support and recognition it deserves nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
Nicholas Aderinto, MD retweeted
The 2026 #NobelPrize laureates in physiology or medicine have laid the foundation of a new era in neuroscience.
Using optogenetics, researchers have been able to reveal neural circuits governing specific memories, feelings, and behaviours relevant for neurological and psychiatric disorders. In clinical medicine, researchers are using the method in attempts to restore sight in people with visual impairment.
Optogenetics has fundamentally altered our understanding of the brain. Every day brings new discoveries, helping to solve one of humanity’s great mysteries: how our incredible brain works.
Global Stroke Revolution Is Bypassing Africa. My recent comment in @StrokeAHA_ASA
Comments and Opinions by @NicholasArete: Unless #stroke systems, evidence generation, and innovation pathways are deliberately restructured to include Africa as an equal partner, improvements in stroke care will not be felt equally across the globe. ahajrnls.org/4iVSpl1

Proud to share our umbrella review in npj Vaccines (Nature Portfolio) @Nature_NPJ
We found that thrombotic and cerebrovascular events after COVID-19 vaccination are rare, with risks far lower than after SARS-CoV-2 infection itself.

Our systematic review and meta-analysis found that virtual reality-based cognitive rehabilitation significantly improves cognitive outcomes in patients with acute acquired brain injury.

Our new systematic review of 27 studies maps SNP associations in stroke with risk, subtype, outcomes, and recurrence across diverse populations.

Grateful to see my Google Scholar citations reach 3,000+ and my h-index rise to 26. None of this happens without incredible mentors, collaborators, and a research community that cares deeply about stroke recovery and neuromodulation.

Get ready to learn from the best! The LAUTECH Neuroscience Group is excited to announce the speakers for the NeuroBiomarkers Conference 2026.
Today's speakers' spotlight is on Nicholas ADERINTO, MD, one of our speakers for the upcoming Neurobiomarkers Conference.

I'm honored to be ranked among the top 500 researchers (#432) in Africa across all subject areas by the Scopus/SciVal ranking.
PNNs are increasingly recognized for their crucial role in the stroke recovery process. We provided an updated review of the current evidence.

This week, for @ConversationUS, I argued that stroke guidelines developed for health systems in Boston or Berlin cannot simply be applied to Lagos or Lusaka.
Africa needs its own stroke guidelines. The time is now.

Why hasn’t Africa produced a Nobel in Medicine [research done in Africa] yet? I wrote on this in @Nature.
Our latest scoping review maps the evidence on vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for post-stroke arm motor recovery.
VNS enhances motor outcomes
taVNS = promising non-invasive option
More work needed on diverse populations & protocol standardization

Our new umbrella review shows Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) effectively reduces hemorrhagic stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, matching oral anticoagulants for overall stroke prevention up to 5 years.
