The role of the avian hippocampus in spatial memory
- Biology, Psychology

Analysis of the effects of hippocampal lesions on navigation find that basic navigational processes are left intact, and that at least some of the disruption of homing may be caused by disruption of the associability of information derived from the sun compass - a non-spatial deficit.

The finding that the homing pigeon hippocampal formation is not necessary for solving this serial, conditional discrimination task is important for further understanding hippocampal function across species, and represents one of the few studies that have attempted to localize a brain region responsible for the phenomenon of transitive behavior learning.

Representing the Richness of Avian Spatial Cognition: Properties of a Lateralized Homing Pigeon Hippocampus
- Biology, PsychologyReviews in the neurosciences
- 2006
Using the homing pigeon as a model species, an accumulating body of data is reviewed indicating that the avian hippocampus is functionally lateralized, and it is proposed that the available data are consistent with a hypothesis of a left hippocampus more involved in navigational processes, and a right hippocampus more involvement in representing the locations of events.
Inhibition, the final frontier: the impact of hippocampal lesions on behavioral inhibition and spatial processing in pigeons.

Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrate that, much like the mammalian hippocampus, the avian hippocampus is critical to behavioral inhibition and spatial processing.

The data suggest that categorical information is not processed in the avian hippocampus, in striking contrast to previous recordings in the telencephalic association area ‘nidopallium caudolaterale’ of the same crows, in which an abundance of numerosity-selective and working memory- selective neurons were reported.

The influence of hippocampal lesions on the discrimination of structure and on spatial memory in pigeons (Columba livia).
- Psychology, BiologyBehavioral neuroscience
- 2005
The results indicate an intact hippocampus is not essential for the solution of structural discriminations in pigeons and the hippocampus is important for processing some types of spatial information--that used in navigation, but not other types-- that used in spatial structural discrimination.

The results support the notion that avian and mammalian hippocampal functions are quite similar, in terms of the tasks for which their processing is crucial and the roles for which it is not.

Three experiments investigated the role of the pigeon hippocampal formation and the behavioural effects of hippocampal lesions in birds and mammals on short-term memory for non-spatial and spatial information, and the implications for avian hippocampal function are considered.

Though monkeys in the hippocampal group were impaired on both delays and lists, the impairment was more severe on the lists, with abnormal sensitivity to pro- and retroactive interference as a possible source of difficulty.

The findings offer the first insight into the central neural structures involved in the acquisition of the pigeon navigational map, and identify the hippocampus as a structure critical for the regulation of navigational behavior that manifests itself in a natural setting.

These findings show that, first, the hippocampal region itself is essential for normal memory function; and second, the adjacent entorhinal and parahippocampal cortices, either alone or in combination, are also an essential component of the medial temporal lobe memory system.

Results indicate that the fimbria-fornix, but not the amygdala, is involved in nonspatial delayed match-to-sample, and the magnitude and duration of the impairment was a function of the size of the lesion.

Findings support the view that the Hp-APH in pigeons is important for the processing of spatial, rather than visual information.
