Both mammals and birds can flexibly organize their behavior over time. In mammals, the
mental operations generating this ability are called executive functions and are associated …

A comparative analysis of catecholaminergic systems in the brain and spinal cord of
vertebrates forces to reconsider several aspects of the organization of catecholamine …

The standard nomenclature that has been used for many telencephalic and related
brainstem structures in birds is based on flawed assumptions of homology to mammals. In …

Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) are two
endogenous opioid peptides with high affinity and remarkable selectivity for the μ-opioid …

The avian caudolateral neostriatum (NCL) was first identified on the basis of its dense
dopaminergic innervation. This fact and data from lesion studies have led to the notion that …

It has become increasingly clear that the standard nomenclature for many telencephalic and
related brainstem structures of the avian brain is based on flawed once‐held assumptions of …

The influence of early postnatal socio-emotional deprivation on the development of tyrosine
hydroxylase-and 5-hydroxytryptamine-immunoreactive fiber innervation in the medial …

The present review provides an overview of the distribution of dopaminergic fibers and
dopaminoceptive elements within the avian telencephalon, the possible interactions of …

Noradrenaline release in areas within the forebrain occurs following activation of
noradrenergic cells in the locus coeruleus (LoC). Release of noradrenaline by …

Despite the long, separate evolutionary history of birds and mammals, both lineages
developed a rich behavioral repertoire of remarkably similar executive control generated by …
