SICB Annual Meeting 2020

Symposium S11: Integrative comparative cognition: can neurobiology and neurogenomics inform comparative analyses of cognitive phenotype?
A long standing question in biology is what are the mechanisms that shape the evolution of cognition? Comparative psychologists have traditionally focused on a narrow range of animals. Today, they study a broad range of species, greatly enriching our understanding of the diversity of cognitive processes. This diversity has highlighted the fundamental challenge of comparing cognitive processes across animals. The goal of the symposium is to bring together speakers studying a range of species to gain a broadly integrative perspective on cognition while at the same time considering the potentially important role of neurobiology and genomics in addressing the difficult problem of comparing cognition across species.
