Natural photoperiodic regulation of hippocampal neural plasticity in wild male and female black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus)
(2022-08-22)Food storing, a hippocampus-dependent spatial behaviour, fluctuates seasonally in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), who store more food in the fall months for later retrieval in the resource-scarce winter. ... -
Neurobiological and Epigenetic Substrates of Learning, Memory, and Behavioural Flexibility in Three Songbird Species: the Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus), Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia castanotis), and European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
(2023-08-29)Songbirds rely on learning, perceiving, and producing complex vocalizations to perform critical functions such as conspecific identification, mate selection, and territory defence These cognitive processes are influenced ...
