Learning from bird brains: how the study of songbird brains revolutionized neuroscience
Abstract
During the past 30 years, songbirds have become a popular model for neuroscience research. The author reviews three fundamental discoveries that have revolutionized the field and changed the way we understand the structure and function of the brain.
