Mirror-induced behavior in the magpie (Pica pica): evidence of self-recognition by Prior, Helmut, Schwarz, Ariane, Güntürkün, Onur

“…Comparative studies suggest that at least some bird species have evolved mental skills similar to those found in humans and apes. This is indicated by feats…”

The Neural Basis of Long-Distance Navigation in Birds by Mouritsen, Henrik, Heyers, Dominik, Güntürkün, Onur

“…Migratory birds can navigate over tens of thousands of kilometers with an accuracy unobtainable for human navigators. To do so, they use their brains. In this…”

Connectivity and neurochemistry of the commissura anterior of the pigeon (Columba livia) by Letzner, Sara, Simon, Annika, Güntürkün, Onur
