The paper demonstrates that newly-hatched chicks can discriminate quantities without prior experience, supporting the innateness of non-symbolic numerical cognition.

This study uses MEMRI to show light-induced brain asymmetry in chick embryos, demonstrating the feasibility of in vivo imaging for studying sensory stimulation effects on embryonic brain development.

The paper uses functional MRI in newborn chicks to identify the brain regions involved in long-term storage of imprinting memories.

This study shows that prenatal exposure to valproic acid impairs chicks' preference for dynamic social stimuli, suggesting a link to early ASD symptoms.
