This study uses 3D tracking to show pigeons prefer ground food patches and delay leaving elevated ones, integrating current and past foraging data in their decisions.

This paper optimizes gadolinium-based contrast agent protocols for ex vivo DWI in avian brains, finding that rehydration-based exposure achieves stable relaxation parameters and DWI compatibility.

The paper predicts individual differences in fear and cognitive learning and extinction using multimodal neural connectivity patterns from a large dataset.

This study validates adeno-associated viral vectors for precise gene expression in pigeons, demonstrating cell-type-specific transduction using promoters and enhancers.

This study uses iEEG and RSA to show that human extinction learning involves context-specific neural representations in the amygdala and extinction network, with theta oscillations signaling safety and predicting fear or safety responses.

The paper investigates how polygenic scores for intelligence relate to general intelligence through white matter microstructural properties, finding that neurite density mediates this relationship.

This study uses fMRI to investigate extinction learning in actively participating pigeons, revealing a left-hemispheric telencephalic network involved in the process.

This study maps nitric oxide-synthesizing neurons and soluble guanylate cyclase in the pigeon brain, revealing their distribution and interactions with dopaminergic pathways.

This study shows that pigeon hippocampus and prefrontal NCL process extinction learning differently, with HPC encoding context phases and NCL enabling decision-making and meta-learning.

This study uses a computational model to show that orthographic processing in humans, baboons, and pigeons varies with phylogenetic distance, with humans and baboons using more similar representations.

This study examines associations between general intelligence and graph-theoretical properties of brain networks across four datasets but finds inconsistent and non-replicable results.

The paper investigates how stimulus complexity affects working memory performance by analyzing neural coding patterns in avian prefrontal cortex.

This study links polygenic scores for intelligence and educational attainment to brain structure and network efficiency, showing mediation through fiber connectivity and parieto-frontal surface area.

The paper identifies white matter regions consistently associated with general intelligence across four independent samples using tract-based spatial statistics.

This study uses VR and mobile EEG to show that fear in a virtual environment induces greater right-hemispheric lateralization compared to neutral conditions and IAPS images.

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

This study evaluates polygenic scores for intelligence and cognitive performance in a sample of 557 adults, finding they predict different facets of intelligence with varying accuracy.
