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 …

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 …

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

Dopamine is a key neuromodulatory transmitter in the brain. It acts through dopamine
receptors to affect changes in neural activity, gene expression, and behavior. In songbirds …

Dopamine D1-like receptors consisting of D1 and D5 subtypes are intimately implicated in
dopaminergic regulation of fundamental neurophysiologic processes such as mood …

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

This review describes a case of convergence in the evolution of brain and cognition. Both
mammals and birds can organize their behavior flexibly over time and evolved similar …

The avian nidopallium caudolaterale is a multimodal area in the caudal telencephalon that
is apparently not homologous to the mammalian prefrontal cortex but serves comparable …
