__
Starting with the work of Cajal more than 100 years ago, neuroscience has sought to understand how the cells of the brain give
rise to cognitive functions. How far has neuroscience and more precisely neurobiology, progressed in this endeavour? On the
other side, to learn how cognition is implemented in the brain, computational neuroscience has built computational models that
can perform cognitive tasks, and test such models with brain and behavioural experiments.
\\ \\
Neurobiology, psychology and computational neurosciences are different approaches to the study of the brain, even if the Human
Brain Project (funded by the European Union) has mainly invested in computational aspects. Deciding where to allocate funding
for brain research between neurobiology and computational neuroscience depends on various factors, including research goals,
available expertise, technological advancements, and the specific questions being pursued. Where are we now? Is there a conflict
or is there a balanced approach that supports collaboration between these fields?__
