A fun one! In which we discuss...

- the deep evolutionary history of birds
- sci-fi-sounding structures in bird brains
- the perennial puzzle of magnetoreception
- seasonal changes in bird (and some mammal) brains
- unihemispheric sleep
- gynandromophry
- the extractive foraging hypothesis

etc.!

Many Minds podcast @manymindspod.bsky.social · 12d

Bird brains aren't the same as mammal brains. They took their own twisty evolutionary path. So what can they teach us about brains in general?

A lot, it turns out.

Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, w/ @evoneuro.bsky.social & Georg Striedter!

Deeply saddened to hear of Jane Goodall‘s passing at age 91 💔 Meeting her was a privilege I will never forget. She transformed how we see animals, in particular chimpanzees, conservation and our place on this planet. Rest in peace, Dr Goodall 🌿
