a) How is the brain of birds different from the brain of mammals in terms of how it looks, superficially? b) Researchers have examined the density of neurons in the brains of some birds in relation to the birds’ activities at different times within the annual cycle. Describe what has been found about how neuron density within the brain changes at different times of the year, and provide an example of how this change contributes to the studied species’ fitness (i.e. contributes to its survival or reproductive success)
