These regulations are intended to ensure that animals in research receive humane care and use and that practical steps are taken to use the smallest number of animals to give significant results while ensuring that each individual animal experiences minimum pain or distress. The goal of the workshop was to bring together researchers, legal scholars, administrators, and other key stakeholders to discuss current trends and cross-national differences in animal regulations.

This forum series was launched in 2008 as a venue where scientific conferences and meetings could be held to "help the scientific leadership of the United Kingdom and the United States forge an enduring and productive partnership on pressing topics of worldwide scientific concern with benefit to all people." The meeting drew on the convening power of the sponsoring organizations to bring together experts for presentations and moderated discussions in the following topic areas: neuroscience in court; mind reading (to include a discussion of lie detection, pain, and false memory) ; criminal responsibility and sentencing; moral reasoning and psychopathy; and the developing brain.

The workshop will explore commonalities across neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia, and identify potential opportunities for collaboration across the respective research and development communities. Participants will be invited from academia; pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; government agencies such as the NIH, National Science Foundation, and Veterans Administration; and patient advocacy groups.
