Journal ArticleDOI
The "Challenge Hypothesis": Theoretical Implications for Patterns of Testosterone Secretion, Mating Systems, and Breeding Strategies
TL;DR: This model indicates that there may be widely different hormonal responses to male-male and male-female interactions and presumably equally plastic neural mechanisms for the transduction of these signals into endocrine secretions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The standard nomenclature that has been used for many telencephalic and related brainstem structures in birds is reviewed, with a rationale for each name change and evidence for any homologies implied by the new names.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoperiodic Control of Seasonality in Birds
TL;DR: This review examines how birds use the annual cycle in photoperiod to ensure that seasonal events—breeding, molt, and song production—happen at the appropriate time of year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avian brains and a new understanding of vertebrate brain evolution
Erich D. Jarvis,Onur Güntürkün,Laura L. Bruce,András Csillag,Harvey J. Karten,Wayne J. Kuenzel,Loreta Medina,George Paxinos,David J. Perkel,Toru Shimizu,Georg F. Striedter,J. Martin Wild,Gregory F.

TL;DR: An international consortium of neuroscientists has reconsidered the traditional, 100-year-old terminology that is used to describe the avian cerebrum, requiring a new terminology that better reflects these functions and the homologies between avian and mammalian brains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in the Brain: The Not So Inconvenient Truth
Margaret M. McCarthy,Arthur P. Arnold,Gregory F. Ball,Jeffrey D. Blaustein,Geert J. De Vries +4 more
TL;DR: In 2001, the Institute of Medicine, a branch of the National Academy of Sciences in the U.S.A., concluded that many aspects of both normal and pathological brain functioning exhibit important yet poorly understood sex differences as mentioned in this paper.
