Neurons in the Hippocampus of Crows Lack Responses to Non-spatial Abstract Categories
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2018 Lesion studies suggest a role of the avian hippocampus in spatial and episodic memory. However, whether the avian hippocampus is also involved in processing categorical information and non-spatial working memory contents remains unknown.

Pomen in vplivi vran, s poudarkom na sivi vrani (Corvus cornix), v (sub)urbanem okolju
Acta Silvae et Ligni, 2014 In recent decades, the increase in number of crows, particularly the hooded crow (Corvus cornix), in the (sub)urban environment has resulted in the ever-increasing conflicts with humans.

Crows control working memory before and after stimulus encoding
Scientific Reports, 2020 The capacity of working memory is limited and this limit is comparable in crows and primates. To maximize this resource, humans use attention to select only relevant information for maintenance. Interestingly, attention-cues are effective not only before

Sequential Tool Use in Great Apes [PDF]
, 2012 Sequential tool use is defined as using a tool to obtain another non-food object which subsequently itself will serve as a tool to act upon a further ( sub) goal. Previous studies have shown that birds and great apes succeed in such tasks.

Modifications to the Aesop's Fable paradigm change New Caledonian crow performances [PDF]
, 2014 While humans are able to understand much about causality, it is unclear to what extent non-human animals can do the same. The Aesop's Fable paradigm requires an animal to drop stones into a water-filled tube to bring a floating food reward within reach ...

History of Science in South Asia, 2022 This paper examines three versions of crow omens composed in Sanskrit verses of anuṣṭubh metre from two different sources, one Brahmanic, Gārgīyajyotiṣa, and the other Buddhist, Śārdūlakarṇāvadana. Their similarities in language and content leave little

Studies on the foraging behaviour of New Caledonian crows [PDF]
, 2018 The evolutionary origins of tool use are puzzling. To understand why it has evolved in certain species and not in others, we need to study the environment in which the use of tools is beneficial over alternative foraging modes. The New Caledonian crow is
