Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a unique tool for the study of brain circuitry, as it allows us to image
both the macroscopic trajectories and the microstructural properties of axon bundles in vivo …

We develop further here the only quantitative theory of the storage of information in the
hippocampal episodic memory system and its recall back to the neocortex. The theory is …

INTRODUCTION For more than a century, the avian forebrain has been a riddle for
neuroscientists. Birds demonstrate exceptional cognitive abilities comparable to those of …

The elucidation of spatial coding in the hippocampus requires exploring diverse animal
species. While robust place-cells are found in the mammalian hippocampus, much less is …

Vision in humans and other primates enlists parallel processing streams in the dorsal and
ventral visual cortex, known to support spatial and object processing, respectively. These …

The exceptional navigational capabilities of migrating birds are based on the perception and
integration of a variety of natural orientation cues. The “Wulst” in the forebrain of night …

In rodents, gene‐expression, neuronal tuning, connectivity and neurogenesis studies have
postulated that the dorsal, the intermediate and the ventral hippocampal formation (HF) are …

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

Neuroimaging has a lot to offer comparative neuroscience. Although invasive “gold
standard” techniques have a better spatial resolution, neuroimaging allows fast, whole …

In this review, we discuss the functional equivalence of the avian and mammalian
hippocampus, based mostly on our own research in domestic chicks, which provide an …
