The start of any common-space approach is the establishment of anatomical landmarks. How do we identify homologous areas between species? In poorly-characterized species, how do we cross-validate these putative homologies? What role can automated approaches play? Using the chimpanzee as a case example, we will explore different imaging modalities (structural, diffusion, and myelin mapping) for identifying cortical landmarks, and analytical approaches for mapping brain organization.
