Interspecies avian brain chimeras reveal that large brain size differences are influenced by cell-interdependent processes.
Like humans, birds that exhibit vocal learning have relatively delayed telencephalon maturation, resulting in a disproportionately smaller brain prenatally but enlarged telencephalon in adulthood relative to vocal non-learning birds. To determine if this size difference results from evolutionary cha...
