Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetry pays: visual lateralization improves discrimination success in pigeons
Onur Güntürkün,Bettina Diekamp,Martina Manns,Frank Nottelmann,Helmut Prior,Ariane Schwarz,Martina Skiba +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that an increase in visual asymmetry enhances success in visually guided foraging, possibly by increasing the computational speed of object recognition processes by concentrating them into one hemisphere while preventing the other side of the brain from initiating conflicting search sequences of its own.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Units in the Pigeon Brain Integrate Reward Amount and Time-to-Reward in an Impulsive Choice Task
Tobias Kalenscher,Sabine Windmann,Bettina Diekamp,Jonas Rose,Onur Gu¨ntu¨rku¨n,Michael Colombo +5 more
TL;DR: These findings contribute to the understanding of neuropathologies such as drug addiction, pathological gambling, frontal lobe syndrome, and attention-deficit disorders, which are characterized by inappropriate temporal discounting and increased impulsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A left-sided visuospatial bias in birds
TL;DR: Document S1.xDownload (.03 MB ) Document S1 of the Supplemental Experimental Procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working Memory Neurons in Pigeons
TL;DR: Behavioral studies in pigeons show that the neostriatum caudolaterale (NCL) plays a central role in executive functions, such as working memory and response control, and activity changes during the delay of a working memory task are similar to those observed in PFC neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryonic light stimulation induces different asymmetries in visuoperceptual and visuomotor pathways of pigeons.
TL;DR: Data show that embryonic light stimulation elicits visual lateralization by differently modulating visuoperceptual and visuomotor systems in both hemispheres.
