Dear colleagues, Please find below the announcement of the EBRAINS Workshop "Anatomy and function of the prefrontal cortex across species" taking place 14-16 March 2023 in Paris, France. Registration is currently open with an early bird pricing. Kind regards, *Zélie Tournoud*/ EITN Communication manager/ *European Institute for Theoretical Neuroscience (EITN)* UMR 9197 – *NeuroPSI*(Institut des Neurosciences Paris-Saclay) CNRS – Université Paris-Saclay Centre CEA Paris-Saclay Bâtiment 151 91400 Saclay https://www.eitn.org <https://www.eitn.org> _____ EBRAINS Workshop Anatomy and function of the prefrontal cortex across species *14 – 16 March 2023 | Paris, France* Program, information and registration: https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/education-training-career/workshops/pfc/<https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/education-training-career/workshops/pfc/> *Early Bird Registration Deadline: 21 November 2022 * *Late Registration Deadline: 28 February 2023* 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.
