In this short communication, just out in Brain Structure and Function, we capture the fiercest debates and brightest ideas from the 2024 Tract-Anat Retreat. Spoiler: animal models aren’t just useful—they’re crucial for validating tractography, pushing resolution boundaries, and giving us insight into #neuroanatomy across #species.
Yes, there are #translational challenges. No, it’s not one-size-fits-all. But if we want to understand the brain’s wiring diagram, we need all the #comparative power we can get.
🐾 Histology meets high-tech.
🔁 Cross-species meets cross-disciplinary.
🧩 Structure meets function.
