Anybody have a good source on how bird cognition works? (They have virtually no cortex, but corvids and parrots can rival primates in the complexity of tasks they learn.) Do birds have some equivalent of the hierarchical/filter-bank image processing structures mammals do?
I remain confused as to what the avian pallidum is homologous to in the human brain. (Developmentally or evolutionarily.) It seems like this is a subject of debate?
