Bird Brain Maps: Study Explores the Neuroecology of Flocking in Birds

In Frontiers in Neuroscience, researchers provide the scientific community with comprehensive brain maps of the hormone receptors that may be involved in the flocking behaviors of European starlings, house sparrows and rock doves.
