Cognitive functions are similar in birds and mammals. So, are therefore pallial cellular
circuits and neuronal computations also alike? In search of answers, we move in from bird's …

Cognition is considered a hallmark of the primate brain that requires a high degree of signal
integration, such as achieved in the prefrontal cortex. Moreover, it is often assumed that …

Despite the long, separate evolutionary history of birds and mammals, both lineages
developed a rich behavioral repertoire of remarkably similar executive control generated by …

The planning and execution of head-beak movements are vital components of bird behavior.
They require integration of sensory input and internal processes with goal-directed motor …

The amygdala is a central node in functional networks regulating emotions, social behavior,
and social cognition. It develops in the telencephalon and includes pallial and subpallial …

Birds are extremely interesting animals for studying the neurobiological basis of cognition
and its evolution. They include species that are highly social and show high cognitive …

Since foot preference of cockatoos and parrots to hold and manipulate food and other
objects has been associated with better ability to perform certain tasks, we predicted that …

The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the major output systems of the
vertebrate stress response. It controls the release of cortisol or corticosterone from the …

The neuronal basis of the songbird's song system is well understood. However, little is
known about the neuronal correlates of the executive control of songbird vocalizations …

Objective: Phase transfer entropy (TE θ) methods perform well in animal sensory–spatial
associative learning. However, their advantages and disadvantages remain unclear …
