  About

Understanding the human brain relies for a large part on work in animal 
models, which necessitates a careful *cross-species comparison*. The 
*prefrontal cortex* (PFC) is particularly relevant in this regard as its 
function is poorly understood and potential cross-species differences 
remain highly debated. This workshop brings together experimental and 
computational**scientists whose work allows a comparison of the 
*anatomy* and *function* of the PFC between species (in particular 
between humans, monkeys and mice).

EBRAINS <http://ebrains.eu/> is uniquely suited to provide a platform to 
compare anatomy, physiology and behaviour between species, due to its 
atlases, numerous datasets, as well as the whole brain models from 
different species. The *interactive format* of the workshop will allow 
speakers as well as participants from largely separated fields to 
interact and discuss, which is expected to create novel insights as well 
as lead to more coherence and clarity in the relevant terminology, 
formats and important research directions in the field.
