...Fernanda G. Duque; Laura L. Carruth Hummingbirds exhibit complex vocal repertoires that they use in their social interactions. Furthermore, they are capable of vocal production learning, an ability they share with songbirds, parrots, some non-oscine birds, and some mammals including humans. Despite...

The parahippocampal domain in the medial pallium, together with the hippocampus proper, plays an important role in memory skills. In the present work, we...

..., the α gene is missing in birds. Therefore, birds can be used as a new animal model to study the roles of GSK-3β in behavior and in regulating adult neurogenesis. In the present study, we inhibited GSK-3β in brains of adult male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) and accordingly investigated how...

An accommodative range of 20 dioptres (D) is considered typical for the avian species that have been examined, with the greatest range found in aquatic birds [Meyer. 1977]. Chickens and pigeons use between 9 to 25 D...

Leo Veenman; Loreta Medina; Anton Reiner This paper presents and reviews data suggesting that the dorsal thalamic zone (abbreviated DTZ) in birds is homologous to the intralaminar, midline, and mediodorsal thalamic nuclear complex (abbreviated IMMC) in mammals. The DTZ is located dorsomedially...
