Although the hippocampus is one of the most-studied brain regions in mammals, research
on the avian hippocampus has been more limited in scope. It is generally agreed that the …

The homing pigeon is the foundational model species used to investigate the neural control
of avian navigation. The olfactory system is critically involved in implementing the so-called …

The current study aimed to reveal in detail patterns of intrahippocampal connectivity in
homing pigeons (Columba livia). In light of recent physiological evidence suggesting …

The caudolateral nidopallium (NCL, an analog of the prefrontal cortex) is known to be
involved in learning, memory, and discrimination in corvids (a songbird), whereas the …

This chapter explores the intriguing utilization of avian models in biomedical research,
particularly in genetics, developmental biology, neuroscience, immunology, and infectious …
