Abstract: Our cognitive abilities are often thought of as uniquely human, but we can see the roots of these behaviours in our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. Therefore, a comparative approach that spans different species can be useful in understanding how the human brain evolved and how brain anatomy supports these functions. Thanks to recent advances in comparative neuroimaging, we can now study a larger number of species with greater anatomical detail, characterizing features such as connectivity, microstructure, and morphology. By creating multimodal maps of brain architecture that allow for a "common space" approach, we can distinguish between different forms of anatomical specialization and generate new testable hypotheses. In this presentation, I will discuss a series of studies where we applied this analysis framework to investigate the neurobiology of the primate brain.

The Feindel Seminar Series at The Neuro
Advances the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging.

Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.
