Some species of birds store food, often hoarding several hundreds of seeds over a period of just a few weeks. Field and laboratory studies have demonstrated that food-storing species have an impressive memory and an enlarged region of the brain, the

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the higher vocal center (HVC) on singing behavior of adult male zebra finches. The results of our studies show: (a) that NGF is present

It is known from previous work that neurones are born continuously in the ventricular zone of the bird brain. In this study, we show that the amount of cell proliferation in the ventricular zone of the hippocampus (HP) and the hyperstriatum ventrale

The aim of this experiment was to test whether or not nerve growth factor (NGF) is involved in cholinergic processes in the avian brain, by injecting NGF into the higher vocal center (HVC) and examining its effects on adult male zebra finch song. Sin

To test the hypothesis that selection for spatial abilities which require birds to locate and to return accurately to host nests has produced an enlarged hippocampus in brood parasites, three species of cowbird were compared. In shiny cowbirds, femal

Food-storing birds, for example, marsh tits, Parus palustris, use memory to retrieve stored food and have a larger hippocampus relative to the rest of the telencephalon than do species that store little or no food such as the blue tit, P. caeruleus.

Experiment 1 compared food-storing marsh tits and nonstoring blue tits, and Experiment 2 compared food-storing jays and nonstoring jackdaws, in a one-trial associative memory task, Birds obtained a reward by returning to the site where they had eaten

Hand-raised marsh tits (Parus palustris) were exposed to experience of storing and retrieving food at three different ages (35-59, 60-83, 115-138 days posthatch). At equivalent ages, control birds were given identical experience except for storing an

The aims of this study were to test whether or not Jays Garrulus glandarius store stones and, if so, to examine the conditions under which they store stones. By directly observing the behaviour of five captive jays that were housed individually in fl

The results reported in this paper demonstrate lateralization and transfer of spatial memory processing in an adult, food-storig bird. The technique of monocular occlusion was used to investigate lateralization and memory transfer in food-storing mar
