The prefrontal cortex in rats can be distinguished anatomically from other frontal cortical
areas both in terms of cytoarchitectonic characteristics and neural connectivity, and it can be …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses an overview of the afferent and efferent
connections of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in primates and rats, and discusses in the light of …

Primates are unique among mammals in possessing a region of dorsolateral prefrontal
cortex with a well-developed internal granular layer. This region is commonly implicated in …

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 …

This paper briefly discusses the anatomical criteria that have been used to delineate the
prefrontal cortex (PFC) from the (pre) motor cortical areas in the frontal lobe. Single …

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 …

Ascending auditory efferents in birds terminate mainly within Field L2, a cytoarchitectonically
distinct region of the caudomedial telencephalon. The organization of Field L2, and that of its …

How our intuitive understanding of numbers is deeply rooted in our biology, traceable
through both evolution and development. Humans' understanding of numbers is intuitive …

The large body of evidence that supports the hypothesis that the dorsal cortex and dorsal
ventricular ridge of non-mammalian (non-synapsid) amniotes form the dorsal pallium and …

Within the avian telencephalon, the dorsal ventricular ridge (DVR) contains higher order and
multimodal integration areas. Using multiple regressions on 17 avian taxa, we show that an …
