How to integrate animal and human neuroscience?
By Tobias Donner. These reflections are triggered by the recent NeuroView article Interactionist Neuroscience by David Badre, Michael Frank, and Christopher Moore, published in Neuron in December 2015. The authors highlight an ongoing revolution in neuroscience: the systematic, structural and functional
